Clearance

On first contact with the controller that will issue your clearance, give the following information:

  • Your parking bay
  • Your aircraft type

Warning

Radio Checks on first contact are discouraged when building communication with the controller. It's best to greet or ask the controller, should you need any help before clearance issuance.

Be straightforward and concise as possible when communicating within a controlled frequency.

Once you have requested for clearance, the controller will either tell you to standby, or give your clearance on the spot. Clearances include your routing, flight level restrictions, departure instructions and your squawk.

You must read back the clearance in full. Listen carefully to all details that the controller gives you, and if you are unsure about your clearance, let the controller know.

Phraseology

CEB123: Naga Tower, CEB123, Bay 1, A-3-2-0, request clearance Manila.

RPUN_TWR: CEB123, cleared Manila, [routing], [SID] RUNWAY 22, Climb [initial level], Squawk 4024.

CEB123: Cleared Manila, [routing], [SID] RUNWAY 22, Climb [initial level], Squawk 4024, CEB123.

Taxi

The apron connects to runway 04/22. Follow the apron taxi guide lines and any instruction from the tower controller / marshaller. With a single short runway, expect to backtrack to the threshold in use.

Warning

Never enter or backtrack the runway until you have been explicitly cleared to do so. Read back any hold short instruction with "HOLDING SHORT".

Phraseology

CEB123: Naga Tower, CEB123, Bay 1, request taxi, runway 22.

RPUN_TWR: CEB123, taxi to holding point runway 22.

CEB123: Taxi to holding point runway 22, CEB123.

Departure

The departure procedure is decided by an online Approach (APP) or En-route Controller (CTR). When both are offline, Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are given by the aerodrome controller (TWR). Naga's control zone and terminal area are controlled by Bicol Approach when online, which decides if departures will be given radar vectors to the TMA exit points or will be following a SID.

When APP or CTR is online, after passing 2000 feet or leaving the control zone, report your passing altitude to APP or CTR. This is to help them identify you successfully in their radar screens.

Phraseology

CEB123: Bicol Approach, CEB123, passing 2000, climbing [initial level].

RPLK_APP: CEB123, radar identified, continue climb FL150.

Arrival

When arriving into Naga, plan your descent to meet the level restrictions on your STAR. On initial contact with Bicol Approach (RPLK_APP), report your current level.

Phraseology

CEB122: Bicol Approach, CEB122, FL150.

APP will then issue your arrival clearance including the type of approach to expect to the active runway. APP either gives you radar vectors to final or gives you descent clearances via a STAR.

Phraseology

RPLK_APP: CEB122, radar contact, cleared Naga, expect approach RWY 22.

CEB122: Cleared Naga, expect approach RWY 22, CEB122.

RPLK_APP: CEB122, maintain present heading, descend 5,000, QNH 1012.

CEB122: Maintain present heading, descend 5,000, QNH 1012, CEB122.

Warning

If APP didn't give you any turns after you have passed the last waypoint on your routing, maintain your present heading.
