Oceanic Report 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:

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

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

then continue as below. Edit the example data in the fields below to produce your position report.

Time at Position	The time of your position report. Hours and minutes in UTC.
Flight Level	Your current flight level.
Next Position	The position you are heading to next.
Next Position ETA	Your estimated arrival time at the next position, hhmm in UTC.

Have you been assigned a Mach speed by ATC? Unless you are specifically assigned a mach speed to fly by ATC, you do not need to report your speed.
Mach Speed	Your current Mach Speed. M0.80 would be read as "decimal eight zero"
