Radio Procedure - Runway ID
Steven P. McNicoll wrote:
The last zero and the airport. Again, poor technique is required to justify the leading zero. 0.13 seconds to completely avoid any confusion whatsoever. Are you saying that pilots should also read back clearances by saying their call sign first rather than last? No one is perfect, even you. The 0.13 seconds is well worth it. Get a grip. Gerald |

The leading zero is a source for potential confusion. If someone transposes digits "runway zero two" becomes "runway two zero". If proper procedures are used "runway two" cannot be transposed as anything and 0.13 seconds are saved as a bonus. |

Over the radio comes a voice to admonish me that, "...there is no zero in front of the two." Never wanting to rankle a fellow pilot, I dropped the zero -- well, most of the time, anyway. Thirty-year-old habits are hard to break. Does it matter? Is there a protocol for this? Note that Zero Two is a particular case, since the reciprocal is Two Zero. The locals may have found (as I find) that there's a tendency to confuse these two. My home aport is 02/20, and I have learned to say Runway Two when landing to the north, and Two Zero when landing to the south. I find it's a great help. I would not have a similar problem with 03/19. -- all the best, Dan Ford email: usenet AT danford DOT net Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net In Search of Lost Time: www.readingproust.com |

Rock Hill, SC) has runway 02/20 also. I have always prefaced runway two with the zero. Not only that, I include the name of the place twice in a transmission. ("Rock Hill traffic, Cessna 417 entering a left downwind for runway zero two, Rock Hill.") I know the purists don't approve, but i think of how many times I've listened to an announcement on the radio where the location name was lost in transmission... either stepped on or I wasn't paying attention. Besides, what's an addition two words in the interest of clarity? -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

Burt Lancaster's discussion in the office (with an SST model on the table) was the closing of 29 and using 22 instead (Airport Commission members live under the flight path - noise issues). Burt wants to keep the airport open! Darn it! Montblack Movie filmed at Minneapolis/St Paul (MSP) when I was 9. |
