• Route of flight: The route you filed, unless traffic
conditions dictate otherwise.
• Altitude: If not as requested, followed by when to expect
climb or descent clearance.
• Frequency: The radio frequency for departure control.
• Transponder: Your four-digit squawk code.
Include the following items when making a position report (“IPATTEN”):

1. Use your plotter to determine the true course (TC), the total distance of your flight, and the distance between each checkpoint.
2. Place the small hole in the center of the protractor section over a meridian (line of longitude), and then align either the bottom or top edge of the ruler section with your course line, as shown below.
3. If your course is nearly north or south and does not cross a meridian, place the hole of your plotter over a parallel (line of latitude), and use the inner scale as shown below.
4.Measure the total distance of the course, as well as the distance between checkpoints with the ruler section.
