Position Reporting

As NZZO is procedural airspace, pilots are required to provide regular position reports to ATC, which can then be entered into the Controller Client software.

Oceanic Reporting Tool

Before passing oceanic position reports on HF, please first establish communication. The controller/radio operator can then find your details and amend them as you make your report.

Example

ZK-OGO: AUCKLAND RADIO AUCKLAND RADIO ZULU KILO OSCAR GOLF OSCAR (note the full call sign is used until the controller abbreviates it) POSITION REPORT

NZZO_FSS: ZULU GOLF OSCAR AUCKLAND RADIO PASS YOUR MESSAGE (note how the call sign is abbreviated)

then continue as below.

Edit the data in the fields below to produce your position report.
