Common Traffic Advisory Frequency
(CTAF)
When INBOUND tune to CTAF about 15 miles from the airport (if IFR when advised by the controller to change to advisory frequency. However, it two radios are available it may be advisable to monitor CATF even before the controller authorizes the frequency change) and listen for broadcasts from other aircraft. About 5 miles from the airport broadcast your position, altitude, and intensions. Follow the with appropriate announcements of your position in the traffic pattern. It is best to begin and end announcemnets with the phrase "XXX Area Traffic..." to alert other pilots to pertinet traffic messages.
When OUTBOUND tune to CTAF before taxxing and listen for broadcasts from other aircraft. Then transmit your position on the airport and intentions. Follow this with an announcement before you taxi onto the active runway for takeoff.
