In a previous thread Romeo Romeo rasied an interesting point about PPR calls.
I have a checklist of things to ask when I call for PPR, and wanted to asked if there was anything that people would want to add to this list:
When I call for PPR I:
1. tell them who I am and where I'm coming from and then I ask for permission to fly in.
2. if I get permision, I tell them the type and reg of the a/c I'm coming in, and give an ETA.
3. ask for details of:
the Weather (unless the a/f has a published METAR)
the Runway in use currently, and the circuit direction, and any impending change to these.
Parking arrangement (if these are not clear from the AIP entry)
Any noise avoidance procedures
Any unusual activity on the a/f during the day
I usually forget to ask about landing fees, but will add this to my list from now on. Is there anything anyone else would add to this?
