807. AIRBORNE VOICE REPORTS

Each segment of an IFR flight has its own detailed procedures; i.e., Departure Control voice

procedures, Air Route Traffic Control procedures, and Approach Control procedures. Further,

each segment procedures are broken down into situations; e.g., initial contact reports, position

reports, etc., and whether the flight is operating in a radar environment or not. DPC/APC

(located at airports) and ARTCC (located at centers) coordinate the transfer of aircraft, called

"handoff", between themselves as to the frequency assignment, position, time, altitude

assignment, and radar environment of the transfer. Therefore, the initial contact report from the

pilot to the new controller is expected and should include the appropriate message information.
