You are on the approach to land at an aerodrome that is using the callsign suffix 'Information'. You call 'Final', and receive the response 'Golf India Golf, surface wind 160 at 04, land at your discretion'. What should your reply be?
A Flight Information Service (FIS) provides essential flight information to pilots, primarily outside of controlled airspace, to aid in safe and efficient flight operations. This service includes information on traffic, weather, and airport conditions, but does not involve direct air traffic control.
Looking at the answer options:
'Copy the wind, landing, Golf India Golf' --> INCORRECT. 'Copy the wind' is incorrect phraseology.
'Cleared to land, Golf India Golf' --> INCORRECT. You have NOT been cleared to land. Only a controller can give this clearance. A FIS will say 'land at your discretion'.
'Landing my discretion, Golf India Golf' --> INCORRECT. The pilot's response to a FIS call of 'land at your discretion' is either 'Landing' or 'Going Around'.
'Roger, landing, Golf India Golf' --> CORRECT.
