Sample conversation

A representative exchange with this mode active.

Practice: KPAO Class D arrival from the south.

ATC Trainer

Palo Alto Tower, Cessna 12345, 5 south, inbound full stop with information Bravo.

Pilot

Cessna 12345 read: enter left downwind 31, report midfield.

ATC Trainer

Readback incorrect. You missed the runway and the report point. Correct: "Enter left downwind runway 31, report midfield, Cessna 345." Try again.
