Circuits at an uncontrolled aerodrome: Stouffville (CBB2, ATF)
Practises the self-announced calls for circuits at an uncontrolled aerodrome on the aerodrome traffic frequency: taxi, takeoff, downwind and final for a touch and go, then a second circuit to a full stop and clear of the runway, with other traffic joining (NAV CANADA VFR Phraseology guide, MF Arrival/Circuits pp. 51-53 and Aerodrome Traffic Frequency pp. 56-57).
The situation
You are the pilot of C-GABC, a Cessna 172 parked at Stouffville (CBB2), going up for two circuits: a touch and go, then a full stop. Stouffville is uncontrolled: no tower, no FSS and no UNICOM. Every call goes to Stouffville traffic, and nobody answers you. The circuit is on the north side of the runway. Listen between your calls: you will not be the only one flying.
