Approach instructions

Make short approach

Make long approach (or extend downwind)

Report base (or final, or long final)

Continue approach [prepare for possible go around]

Delaying aircraft

Orbit (right or left) [from present position]

Maneuvers

Make a three sixty turn left (or right) [reason]

Orbit left (or right) [reason]

Make all turns rate one (or rate half, or (number) degrees per second) start and stop all turns on the command “now”

Turn left (or right) now

Stop turn now

Flying in adverse meteorological conditions

*Request immediate descent due severe icing in cloud.

Be advised of moderate to severe turbulence between 1000 and 2500m.

*The flight is bumpy/choppy.

*Request higher level, we are flying through the tops.

*We’ve been struck by a lightning.

*We encountered heavy hail.

*Be informed of a wind shear on short final, we lost 20 knots and then gained 30.

Pilots report downdrafts between 3000m and 4500m.
