Landing question from student pilot
#11
If they want you to exit at a specific point, they will tell you on final or on the roll-out. Otherwise it's your choice (taking into account NOTAMs for closed taxiways, or taxiways blocked by other aircraft).

So basically right after landing take the next avail taxiway unless otherwise instructed and then let tower know your holding clear of the runway wanting to taxi back to the ramp and they will instruct or hand you off to ground.
Guess that big book comes in handy huh? Thanks a lot squawk87.

When you tell them you are going to be full stop, do it at a time that is convenient for you. Traffic patterns are very busy, so you want to time your radio call when it will interfere least with your duties. For most, this is the downwind when you aren't climbing, descending, or turning. I'm not saying that making calls on the base leg is necessarily the wrong way, but for me personally it is a time that may cause me to forget something if I become distracted.

There is an art to communication with ATC. As you gain experience , a simple exchange of intentions, over the radio, is best achieved with strict adherence to the suggested pilot-controller verbiage in the FAR-AIM.

"The tower controller will consider that pilots of turbine−powered aircraft are ready for takeoff when they reach the runway or warm−up block unless advised otherwise."

Please explain to me why at class C and D airports, more than 50% of the time I have to inform the tower we are ready for departure when holding short. The AIM says turbine aircraft do no have to tell the tower. 4-3-13 section b

I know the answer, they either don't know their manuals or they're so unprofessional and bored they aren't paying attention to the one aircraft operating on the airport at that given time. I've exited the runway onto a taxi way and had to come to a complete stop and question the tower controller, "would you like us to call ground or taxi with you?" I get it, they are overworked and underpaid like most of us, I just wanted Squawk's thoughts on this
