CHAPTER TWO

SNFO/SWSO VOICE COMMUNICATIONS

Once the controller locates your aircraft on the radar screen and reports "radar contact", the

controller will clear you toward the VFR initial for the runway in use at NPA (Figure 2-4).

Course rules dictate that all aircraft will enter the airport traffic area visually via an entry point

(PT GOLF, PT LONG, BRONSON, X-RAY, or PICKENS GATE). Altitudes and headings will

be specified for you in the FLIGHT PREP class.
