Burlington Tower, this is Piper 234BL. Piper 234BL, this is Burlington Tower. Go ahead. Burlington Tower, Piper 234BL is ten miles southwest at 2,500 feet, landing at Burlington. Piper 234BL, roger. Burlington weather is 4,000 scattered, wind 200/11, altimeter setting 30.11. Make left-hand traffic to Runway 19. Call when you enter the downwind leg. Piper 234BL, roger. Burlington Tower, this is Beech 69RJ. Beech 69RJ, this is Burlington Tower. Go ahead. Burlington Tower, Beech 69RJ is twenty miles west, landing at Burlington. We copied the weather given to the other aircraft. Beech 69RJ, roger. Enter the base leg for Runway 19. You will be number two behind a Piper about ten miles southwest. Roger. Burlington Tower, this is Piper 234BL on the left downwind leg of Runway 19. Piper 234BL, roger. Call when you turn on the final approach for Runway 15. Correction, Runway 19. Confirm that is Runway 19 for Piper 234BL. Affirmative Piper 234BL. Runway 19. Burlington Tower, Piper 234BL is entering the final approach for Runway 19. Piper 234BL, cleared to land Runway 19. Cleared to land Runway 19, Piper 234BL. Burlington Tower, this is Cessna 767DS. Cessna 767DS, this is Burlington Tower. Go ahead. Burlington, Cessna 767DS ready for takeoff. We'd like to stay in the traffic pattern for a touch-and-go landing. Cessna 767DS hold short. The landing traffic on final approach is about to cross the runway threshold. Cessna 767DS, holding short of Runway 19. Piper 234BL, turn right to Taxi way Bravo. Contact ground control on frequency 121.9 when you clear Runway 19. Piper 234BL, roger. Cessna 767DS, this is Burlington Tower. Make left-hand traffic for a touch-and-go landing to Runway 19. Cleared for takeoff on Runway 19. Left-hand traffic for Runway 19. Cleared for takeoff on Runway 19. Beech 69RJ, this is Burlington Tower. Change your landing runway to 15. Change to Runway 15, Beech 69RJ. Burlington Tower, was that for Cessna 767DS? Negative Cessna 767DS. Disregard. That message was for another aircraft. You're still cleared for takeoff on Runway 19. Cessna 767DS, roger. We're departing now.

B. Terminology Practice

base leg: a flight path at right angles to the landing runway off its approach end

Turn on the base leg two miles from the runway.

We were asked to extend our base leg.

When do we turn onto our base leg?

copy: to receive information

Did the copilot copy the clearance?

We copied the clearance for approach.

She gave us the clearance; did you copy it?

correction: the act of freeing from error

You're cleared to land on Runway 15 — correction, 19.

The altimeter setting is 30.16 — correction, altimeter setting 30.26.

Did control acknowledge our correction?

disregard: to ignore

Disregard the message, we're cleared to land.

Do you think we should disregard that information?

The information about the landing runway is wrong; disregard it.

downwind leg: a flight path parallel to the landing runway in the direction opposite to landing

We're cleared to enter the downwind leg of our approach.

How far was our downwind leg?

Prepare to enter the downwind leg.

hold short: to stop before the designated position

Hold short of the runway because there's landing traffic.

Did ground control ask us to hold short of the taxiway?

Call the tower and tell them that we're holding short of the active runway.

left downwind leg: the runway that is to the left of an airplane on the downwind leg

The tower cleared us to enter the left downwind leg to Runway 33.

If we were on the left downwind leg, the pilot would see the runway to the left.

Do we enter the pattern with a left downwind leg?

left-hand traffic: a landing pattern in which all turns are made to the left

Did you make left-hand traffic to a touch-and-go landing?

Make left-hand traffic to Runway 19.

We are cleared to make left-hand traffic.

negative: a term used to indicate denial

Negative, that message was for another flight.

Negative, we haven't cleared you for landing yet.

Did you copy that negative?

threshold: the beginning of that portion of the runway usable for landing

There is landing traffic crossing the threshold.

What color lights are used on the threshold?

The jet touched down 1,000 feet from the threshold.

touch-and-go landing: a maneuver in which an aircraft lands and departs on a runway without stopping

You're cleared for a touch-and-go landing.

Can we practice touch-and-go landings today?

That was a perfect touch-and-go landing.

traffic pattern: the traffic flow of aircraft landing in, taxiing on, and taking off from an airport

The downwind leg is a portion of the traffic pattern.

I'm not familiar with the traffic pattern at this airport.

Are planes making touch-and-go landings considered part of the traffic pattern?

C. Check-Up

Fill in the blanks with the proper terms from the list.

base leg copy correction disregard downwind leg

holding short left-hand traffic threshold touch-and-go landing traffic pattern
