Philosophy

Within VATPAC airspace, radio phraseologies enable us (ATC and pilots) to communicate in the most efficient way possible. As a general principle all radio communications should be "Clear and Concise". Standard phraseology helps us to convey the required information in the shortest and clearest language possible. While standard phraseology is expected and accepted, reasonable variations are of course permissible, inevitable and commonly encountered.
