Confirm the correct runway — Go-around

Practice silences are omitted. Timestamps open the corresponding point on YouTube.

1. 0:00 NARRATOR: Chapter 9. Here is the scenario: You're approaching Paine Field's parallel
2. 0:05 runways and are unsure of your alignment. Practice explaining the uncertainty and
3. 0:10 coordinating with Tower.
4. 0:13 NARRATOR: Your starting details: You are flying Evektor, registration N827EV. You are
5. 0:20 on final for runway 16L, indicated altitude 1600 feet. You are tuned to Paine Tower. You
6. 0:30 have ATIS information Golf.
7. 0:34 NARRATOR: Play the pilot. At each prompt, use the ten-second pause to respond aloud or
8. 0:40 decide whether to transmit. Then compare with the example. This is simulated radio
9. 0:45 practice.
10. 0:47 NARRATOR: Scenario update: The scenario starts with you final for runway 16L.
11. 0:52 Initial contact has already been established; there is no outstanding
12. 0:56 clearance to enter or land on the runway.
13. 1:01 TOWER: Evektor 827EV, wind 160 at 8, runway 16L, cleared to land
14. 1:17 PILOT: runway 16L, cleared to land, Evektor 827EV
15. 1:23 NARRATOR: Scenario update: The staggered parallel runways cause doubt about your
16. 1:27 alignment. A landing clearance does not resolve visual uncertainty. From the north,
17. 1:31 Airport Road can also be mistaken for runway 16L.
18. 1:36 NARRATOR: Your task: You cannot resolve the alignment in time. Initiate the go-around
19. 1:39 and announce it; do not wait for permission.
20. 1:52 PILOT: going around, Evektor 827EV
21. 1:57 TOWER: Evektor 7EV, make left traffic runway 16L
22. 2:11 PILOT: left traffic runway 16L, Evektor 7EV
23. 2:17 NARRATOR: Your task: Time advances. You have reached midfield left downwind runway 16L at
24. 2:23 1600 feet. Report your position.
25. 2:35 PILOT: Paine Tower, Evektor 7EV, midfield left downwind runway 16L, full stop
26. 2:43 NARRATOR: Your task: Time advances. In this training case you positively identify the
27. 2:48 assigned runway and its markings. If uncertainty remained, do not continue to
28. 2:53 land.
29. 3:03 PILOT: runway 16L identified, Evektor 7EV
30. 3:08 TOWER: Evektor 7EV, runway 16L, cleared to land
31. 3:22 PILOT: cleared to land runway 16L, Evektor 7EV
32. 3:28 NARRATOR: Scenario update: Time advances through the pattern. You are now on final
33. 3:32 for runway 16L.
34. 3:35 NARRATOR: Scenario update: The simulated landing is complete. You are slowing on
35. 3:40 runway 16L.
36. 3:43 TOWER: Evektor 7EV, turn left at Foxtrot Three when able, contact ground 121.8 when
37. 3:48 off the runway
38. 3:59 PILOT: left at Foxtrot Three when able, ground 121.8 when off the runway, Evektor
39. 4:05 7EV
40. 4:07 NARRATOR: Scenario update: The entire airplane is beyond the runway
41. 4:10 holding-position marking at Foxtrot Three. You may switch to ground.
42. 4:16 NARRATOR: Your task: Report clear and request taxi to parking.
43. 4:29 PILOT: Paine Ground, Evektor 827EV, clear of runway 16L at Foxtrot Three, request taxi to
44. 4:35 parking
45. 4:37 GROUND: Evektor 827EV, taxi to the east ramp via Foxtrot
46. 4:53 PILOT: taxi to the east ramp via Foxtrot, Evektor 827EV
47. 5:00 NARRATOR: Chapter debrief: Runway uncertainty was resolved before landing; a
48. 5:04 go-around required a fresh landing clearance.
