Your scenario

Training simulation only. Arlington, runway one six, right traffic. The fictional wind is one six zero at seven knots. You are SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, an Evektor SportStar Max. Small-propeller pattern altitude is one thousand two hundred feet MSL. Use self-announcements, and keep flying and looking for traffic ahead of radio work.

Practice goals

Respond aloud during the 10- or 12-second response windows. Pause longer whenever needed. Private decisions have no time limit in text practice. Aircraft control comes before speech.

Read the scenario script Text lesson script

This script supports the text practice exercise. Responses appear after each practice prompt.

  1. Draft for instructor review. Fictional traffic and weather. Practice self-announcements, not controller readbacks. Aircraft controls, checklist verification, and cockpit scoring are disabled. Respond aloud during each silent window. Pause the video for more time. Aircraft control always comes before speech.
  2. Training simulation only. Arlington, runway one six, right traffic. The fictional wind is one six zero at seven knots. You are SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, an Evektor SportStar Max. Small-propeller pattern altitude is one thousand two hundred feet MSL. Use self-announcements, and keep flying and looking for traffic ahead of radio work.
  3. You are now holding short at the full-length departure end of runway one six. The scenario independently establishes that applicable pre-takeoff flow and checklist verification were completed while stopped. Your radio response will not mark those checks complete. You have listened and visually checked the runway, final approach, and other conflicting traffic. In this scenario, the departure path is clear.
  4. Your plan is to remain in the pattern.
  5. Make the departure self-announcement before entering the runway.
  6. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, departing runway one six, remaining in right traffic, Arlington.
  7. There is no controller response. In the simulation you recheck the runway and approach, enter, and take off when safe. Your transmission itself is not permission or proof that the runway is clear.
  8. The simulation advances only after you are beyond the departure end, within three hundred feet below pattern altitude, the path is clear, and a normal right crosswind turn is appropriate.
  9. Join downwind at pattern altitude, continuing the visual scan and listening watch. The script does not set aircraft speeds, flap settings, bank angles, or exact turn points.
  10. Circuit 1. Your plan for this circuit is touch and go.
  11. Downwind. Announce your current position and intention.
  12. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right downwind runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  13. Base. Announce your current position and intention.
  14. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right base runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  15. Final. Announce your current position and intention.
  16. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, final runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  17. The touch and go is complete. Fly the airplane, complete the required reconfiguration, and establish the climb. No transmission is required during touchdown, acceleration, or this high-workload transition.
  18. The simulation advances only after you are beyond the departure end, within three hundred feet below pattern altitude, the path is clear, and a normal right crosswind turn is appropriate.
  19. Join downwind at pattern altitude, continuing the visual scan and listening watch. The script does not set aircraft speeds, flap settings, bank angles, or exact turn points.
  20. Circuit 2. Your plan for this circuit is touch and go.
  21. Downwind. Announce your current position and intention.
  22. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right downwind runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  23. Base. Announce your current position and intention.
  24. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right base runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  25. Final. Announce your current position and intention.
  26. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, final runway one six, touch and go, Arlington.
  27. The touch and go is complete. Fly the airplane, complete the required reconfiguration, and establish the climb. No transmission is required during touchdown, acceleration, or this high-workload transition.
  28. The simulation advances only after you are beyond the departure end, within three hundred feet below pattern altitude, the path is clear, and a normal right crosswind turn is appropriate.
  29. Join downwind at pattern altitude, continuing the visual scan and listening watch. The script does not set aircraft speeds, flap settings, bank angles, or exact turn points.
  30. Circuit 3. Your plan for this circuit is full stop.
  31. Downwind. Announce your current position and intention.
  32. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right downwind runway one six, full stop, Arlington.
  33. Base. Announce your current position and intention.
  34. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, right base runway one six, full stop, Arlington.
  35. Final. Announce your current position and intention.
  36. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, final runway one six, full stop, Arlington.
  37. You land and leave the landing runway at a suitable exit. The entire airplane is beyond the applicable runway holding-position markings and is clear of the landing runway. You remain clear of any other runway; no taxi route is implied.
  38. Now announce that you are clear of the landing runway.
  39. Arlington traffic, SportStar Eight Two Seven Echo Victor, clear of runway one six, Arlington.
  40. End of this scenario. A clear-of-runway announcement describes an observed position. It is never a clearance for another aircraft or a substitute for a visual check.
  41. Say the current position, runway one six, and the intention for this circuit. Do not copy the left-pattern language from the runway three four exercise.
  42. End of this draft practice. Review current sources and applicable aircraft documents with a qualified instructor before operational use.
