General Rules for VFR Flights
Position Reporting
Pilots in command of VFR flights should make a position report in the following circumstances:
(a) after transfer of communication;
(b) on reaching the limit of ATS clearance;
(c) when instructed by Air Traffic Control;
(d) when operating flights across the English Channel (i.e when crossing the coast, both outbound and inbound, and when crossing the FIR boundary.
Arriving Aircraft
An aircraft approaching an aerodrome under VFR where an Approach Control Service is available should make initial RTF contact when 15nm or five minutes flying time from the ATZ boundary, whichever is the greater. As well as landing information, ATC will pass information on pertinent known traffic to assist pilots of VFR flights to maintain separation from both IFR and other known VFR flights.
If radar sequencing of IFR flights is in progress, ATC will provide VFR flights with information to enable them to fit into the landing sequence.
Approach Control will instruct pilots when to change to Aerodrome Control.
When approaching an aerodrome without an Approach Control service, but having an ATZ, pilots must comply with the requirements of Rule 45 of the UK Rules of the Air Regulations relating to flights within ATZ described below. At an aerodrome without an ATZ pilots must comply with Rule 12 of the UK Rules of the Air Regulations see Flight in Vicinity of an Aerodrome - Note 1 overleaf.
