1.3. Transmission of time

Exercise 1

Study the following words.

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Всемирное скоординированное время

local time местное время

Z (zulu time) среднее гринвическое время, среднее время по Гринвичу

Exercise 2

Study the following.

When transmitting time, only the minutes of the hour are normally required. However, the hour should be included if there is any possibility of confusion. Time checks shall be given to the nearest minute. Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC) is to be used at all times, unless specified. 24.00 hours designates midnight, the end of the day, and 0000 hours the beginning of the day.

Time	Transmitted as
0823	Two Three or Zero Eight Two Three
1300	One Three Zero Zero
2057	Five Seven or Two Zero Five Seven

Exercise 3 Transmit the time.

1645 UTC	0630 Z	1000 local time

1.4. Callsigns for aeronautical stations and aircraft callsigns

Exercise 1

Study the callsigns for aeronautical stations.

Сопровождение	Follow me	[7fOlEu6mi:]	Машина сопровождения ВС
Транзит	Handling	[7hXndliN]	Производственная служба аэропорта

Exercise 2

Study the following.

When establishing communication an aircraft shall use the full callsigns of both stations. After satisfactory communication has been established and provided that no confusion is likely to occur, the ground station may abbreviate callsigns (see the table below). A pilot may only abbreviate the callsign of his aircraft if it has first been abbreviated by the aeronautical ground station.

Type	Example
	Full	Abbreviated
a) the characters corresponding to the registration marking of the aircraft;	G-ABCD Cessna G-ABCD	G-CD Cessna G-CD
b) the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the last four characters of the registration marking of the aircraft; or	FASTAIR DCAB	FASTAIR AB
c) the telephony designator of the aircraft operating agency, followed by the flight identification	FASTAIR 345	No abbreviated form

Note: the name of the aircraft manufacturer or name of aircraft model may be used as a radiotelephony prefix to the Type a) above.
