of the airfield strip you are going to land at.
- If PPR is required you
should obtain it by phone before departure.
- If you have never been to
the airfield before, talk to the airfield and preferably the owner or a qualified
CFI./FI and get a local area, airfield brief.
- Approaching airfield listen
out before getting close, to pick up local weather & gauge how busy it is.

etc.

blind transmissions.
