Sorry for my poor translation. It was a short news on one of the local daily and I figured better to translate as much as I can rather than putting the whole article here in Chinese. Bottom line is it was reported on the news, not from some who call themselves pilots! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted August 26, 2009 Yes, they have to account for everyone in case there is a crash, etc. If everyone is accounted for, the rescue workers will not need to endanger their own lives unnecessarily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth Chong 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) POB, SOB, both are the same and equally used. At which stage the POB/SOB will be reported? Radar? Control? Approach? or Arrival? Edited September 12, 2009 by Kenneth Chong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azrin A 2 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 At which stage the POB/SOB will be reported? Radar? Control? Approach? or Arrival? Let me try to answer ?. Normally POB information and aircraft registration are requested before Approach (Landing) and before Clearance (Takeoff). Correct ah, Captain ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Goh 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2009 Not everywhere needs POB/SOB to be reported. As I know only Singapore Radar 1st Contact and during clearance delivery , Malaysia report to ground control and Aussie if its not public transport a/c need to report POB/SOB. Of cos, these are in normal operations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of cos, these are in normal operations. What is clearance delivery? When approaching airport such as from KLIA to Changi, what is the sequence of communication involved? Radar--> Control--> Approach--> Arrival-->Tower--> Ground? What about delivery ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
