Give the cadet a blank sheet of paper (following page) and have him copy basic clearances. Have the cadet repeat back each clearance after they copy it and before giving the next clearance. Say each
clearance at a normal pace that would simulate an actual ATC clearance. Use one example from each set below, beginning with the simplest and continuing to the most difficult.
Simple:
1. ―N797RL, go around‖ 2. ―N11762, Cleared for the option‖ 3. ―N49276, taxi to runway 30‖
Medium:
1. ―N797RL, cleared for touch-and-go, fly right traffic after‖ 2. ―N11762, Go around and re-enter right traffic, report downwind‖ 3. ―N49276, Cleared for takeoff, caution for helicopter to the left of runway‖
Difficult:
1. ―N797RL, Follow the traffic ahead, cleared to land number 3, report traffic in sight‖ 2. ―N11762, Fly through final and enter the left downwind, cleared to land number 2‖ 3. ―N49276, Traffic 2 o’clock, 3miles, 3500 feet, opposite direction, report traffic in sight‖
