To assist a radar controller to identify your aircraft, you are asked for your position. The LUGBERRY VOR station is 5 miles north of you. How do you report your position in relation to it?
Standard phraseology:
- REPORT (distance) MILES FROM (name of VOR station) (or significant point).
Note the order:
- 1. Distance in miles
- 2. From the station or significant point
Looking at the answer options:
POSITION LUGBERRY VOR FIVE MILES NORTH, G-ACZG --> INCORRECT. You must give your position relative to the beacon, not it's position relative to you. The information is in the wrong order too.
POSITION FIVE MILES SOUTH OF LUGBERRY VOR, G-ACZG --> CORRECT. Pilots are required to give their position relative to a geographic location (landmark), navigation aid or aerodrome. VOR is NORTH of you, so you are SOUTH of VOR.
ONE EIGHT ZERO FIVE FROM LUGBERRY VOR, G-ACZG --> INCORRECT. 180 should be 'south' and 'five' what? The information is in the wrong order too.
LUGBERRY VOR FIVE MILES ONE EIGHT ZERO, G-ACZG --> INCORRECT. 180 should be 'south'. The information is in the wrong order too.
