Primera parte: Autorizacin de retroceso, puesta en marcha, carreteo, y autorizacin para
despegar.

Importante:Nos conectaremos en un parking cualquiera del aeropuerto, nunca en la pista, ya que

puede haber alguien aterrizando, y estemos en medio.

P: Buenos das, aqu AAAA, solicitamos permiso para retroceder y puesta en marcha, con destino
XXXX.

C: AAAA Puede retroceder y hacer la puesta en marcha, llame listo para rodar.

P: Retroceso y puesta en marcha aprobada, AAAA

Una vez que hemos hecho el pushback, y estemos listos para rodar, llamamos a torre.

P: Listo para copiar, AAAA

C: AAAA, listo para copiar?

P: S, adelante, AAAA

Ahora el controlador nos dar infomacin del aeropuerto, como el QHN, la altitud inicial, la sid por
la que saldremos, la pista de despegue, y el transponder (no s si est en fg)

P: (debemos de colacionar lo que nos ha dicho el ATC, recomendable apuntarlo en un papel)

Ahora pedimos autorizacin para rodar

P: AAAA, listo para rodar

C: AAAA, vaya a pista XX, por las calles A, B, C.

P: Listos para rodar, pista XX, calles A,B,C

Una vez que llegamos al punto de espera de la pista, solicitamos despegue.

P: AAAA, solicitamos permiso para despegar.

C: AAAA, autorizado a despegar pista XX

P: Autorizado a despegar, AAAA.

Segunda parte: Dilogo en ruta

Hemos despegado, y estamos volando a nuestro destino. Volaremos con navegacin propia (nuestro
plan de vuelo) Si tenemos que cambiar de ATC, hacemos lo siguiente.

C: AAAA, contacte con (frecuencia del atc)

P: Contactamos con (frecuencia de ATC)

Una vez que contactamos con el nuevo ATC:

P: Buenas tardes, aqu AAAA, estamos a X pies/nivel de vuelo X

C:XXXX, buenas tardes, tengo contacto con usted.

Tercera parte: Descenso

Vamos a descender, lo haremos cuando lo consideremos oportuno, o cuando nos lo diga el ATC.

P: Solicitamos descenso, AAAA

C: AAAA, descienda a nivel de vuelo X/ a X pies.

P: Descendemos a nivel de vuelo X/ a X pies, AAAA

Este es el segundo caso, en el que el ATC nos dice que descendamos, por necesidad de este.

C: AAAA, descienda a nivel de vuelo X/descienda a X pies.

P: Descendemos a nivel de vuelo X/ a X pies, AAAA

El ATC nos puede dar directos, qu es? Por decirlo de alguna manera, sera un atajo...

C: AAAA, vuele directo a X (puede ser un fix, u vor, o un adf)

P: Volamos directo a X, AAAA

Cuarta parte: Aproximacin, y aterrizaje

Ahora toca contactar con aproximacin, el controlador que gua las aproximaciones al aeropuerto.
El ATC nos puede dar distintas rdenes, que son una espera, una STAR, o te dar un vector, que son
unas instrucciones que pueden ser "virar izquierda/derecha rumbo X"

P: Aqu AAAA, estamos descendiendo desde FL XXXX a FL XXXX

Opcin 1: C: AAAA, le tenemos en el radar.

Opcin 2: C: AAAA, le tenemos en el radar. Espere en la pista X para llegadas.

Opcin 3: C: AAAA, le tenemos en el radar, haga la STAR X.

Opcin 4: C: AAAA, le tenemos en el radar. Vire izquierda/derecha rumbo X.

No hace falta decir que debemos colacionar las opciones 2 3 4.

Si se dan vectores, el ATC le debe decir al piloto lo que se debe esperar.

C: AAAA, vire izquierda/derecha rumbo X vector inicial para la pista X

P: Viramos izquierda/derecha rumbo X vector inicial para ILS para la pista X. AAAA
Se pueden dar ms vectores, pero nosotros pasamos al ltimo vector.

C: AAAA, vire izquierda/derecha rumbo X vector final ILS para la pista X, notifique cuando est
establecido.

P: Viramos rumbo X, autorizados a aproximacin ILS pista X, llamaremos establecidos,AAAA

Cuando estemos establecidos, llamamos al ATC. Qu significa estar establecidos? Estar preparados
para aterrizar, y alineados con la pista.

P: Estamos en el ILS de la pista X, AAAA

C: AAAA, contacte con torre en XXX.XX

P: Contactamos torre en XXX.XX, AAAA

Ahora estamos a punto de aterrizar, y tenemos la frecuencia de torre en las radios, y toca pedir
autorizacin para aterrizar.

P: Aqu AAAA, buenas tardes, estamos en el ILS de la pista X

C: AAAA, autorizado a aterrizar pista X, viento XXX@ZZ.

P: Autorizado a aterrizar, AAAA.

Quinta parte: Taxeando al parking

Ya hemos aterrizado, quitamos las reversas, subimos flaps, guardamos los frenos aerodinmicos, y
apagamos el transponder al salir de la pista.

C: AAAA, vaya al parking X por las calles A, B, C, D, buenas noches.

P: Vamos va A, B, C, D al parking X, AAAA

Si en el aeropuerto tenemos el follow me, el controlador nos dir que lo sigamos.

Solo queda llegar al parking, apagar motores, poner calzos, y abrir las puertas. para sacar los
pasajeros.

Como podris ver, parece un poco aburrido y repetitivo, pero cuando se hace "con ms gente" es
bastante entretenido.
