H<strong>and</strong> Signals<br />
XIV. Radio Communications Procedures<br />
• Use a transceiver with the airports ground frequency on it. Each vehicle<br />
should have a call sign identifying the vehicle. (i.e. Orange 1, Orange 2, etc.)<br />
• Know the proper phraseology <strong>and</strong> never use Citizen’s B<strong>and</strong> (CB) lingo or law<br />
enforcement “Ten” codes.<br />
• Think about what you are going to say before calling the controller.<br />
• Use the proper sequence in calling the controller.<br />
a) Say who you are calling <strong>and</strong> who you are. (Ground, Orange 1)<br />
b) Wait for the controller to respond. Sometimes it may take awhile if they<br />
are busy. When the controller responds, state where you are <strong>and</strong> where<br />
you want to go. (Orange 1 is on CAF ramp <strong>and</strong> would like to proceed to<br />
the general aviation ramp (heavies)).<br />
c) The controller will either approve or deny your request, or issue special<br />
instructions. Acknowledge that you have heard the controller. The<br />
section titled “<strong>Aviation</strong> Phraseology” lists ground control phrases <strong>and</strong><br />
definitions. You should know what they mean before going onto any<br />
taxiway or runway. Note: Use extreme caution when you hear the<br />
phrase “go ahead”. Controllers use this to mean “state your<br />
request” not to proceed to where you want to go.<br />
