Document Description
1.1
Document Purpose
1.1.1
The aim of the United Kingdom Radiotelephony Manual (CAP 413) is to provide pilots,
Air Traffic Services personnel and other ground personnel, both civil and military, with
a compendium of clear, concise, standardised phraseology and associated guidance,
for radiotelephony (RTF) communication in United Kingdom airspace.
1.2
Document Applicability
1.2.1
All users of RTF in the United Kingdom are expected to comply with the phraseology
described in this manual.
1.2.2
Chapter 10 of this Manual details Military Specific Phraseology for specific use
by
military ATCOs and military aircrew. The RTF described in Chapter 10 is
complementary to NATO STANAG 3817. It is also complementary to the remainder
of CAP 413, as it either differs from civil phraseology or there is no equivalent civil
phraseology, e.g. in the case of arrestor system procedures.
1.2.3
Civil pilots visiting military aerodromes will be expected to be aware of the military
phraseology in Chapter 10 and to comply with such instructions as may be issued by
military controllers during their visit. Where relevant, cross references from the
remainder of CAP 413 to the equivalent military phraseology are provided for the
assistance of civil pilots visiting military aerodromes.
1.2.4
Operational details can be found in the United Kingdom Aeronautical Information
Publication (UK AIP). Phraseology for air traffic controllers (consistent with CAP 413)
is also published in the Manual of Air Traffic Services (CAP 493).
1.2.5
CAP 413 is also a useful reference for those studying for the UK Flight
Radiotelephony Operator's Licence.
1.2.6
Candidates for JAA pilot and instrument rating examinations should note that the
syllabus for the communications examination is drawn directly from the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Annex 10 Volume 2 and ICAO Doc 9432-AN/925
and not CAP 413.
1.3
Document Source
1.3.1
The UK RTF Manual is based on ICAO Annex 10 Volume 2 (Communications
Procedures) to the Convention on International Civil Aviation and ICAO PANS-ATM
(Procedures for Air Navigation Services - Air Traffic Management) Doc. 4444.
1.3.2
Where the ICAO standard phraseology may be misunderstood, or has weaknesses in
the UK environment, different phraseology has been specified (and notified to ICAO).
Significant differences between the ICAO standard phraseology and that specified for
use in CAP 413 are described in Appendix 1 to this publication.
1.4
