Announcing at Non-Towered Airports

At a non-towered airport, manned pilots commonly announce their position at which points?

  • A.Only after landing
  • B.Only when another aircraft asks for it
  • C.On downwind, base, final, and when clear of the runway, among other pattern positions
Correct answer

C. On downwind, base, final, and when clear of the runway, among other pattern positions

Why

Pattern position calls such as downwind, base, final, and clear of the runway are the standard self-announce points a remote pilot should expect to hear. Waiting until after landing, or staying silent unless asked, defeats the purpose of CTAF.
