Taxi request at Boundary Bay (CZBB)
Practises a taxi request at a towered aerodrome that assigns a transponder code along with the taxi route, and reading all of it back correctly (NAV CANADA VFR Phraseology guide, Taxi p. 21, Transponder Phraseology p. 5; TC AIM RAC 4.2).
The situation
You are the pilot of C-GABC, a Cessna 172 parked at Boundary Bay (CZBB), one of the busiest training airports in the country, so calls here are brisk. You plan to fly circuits, and you have listened to the ATIS. Boundary Bay assigns VFR aircraft a transponder code, so expect a squawk with your taxi instruction. Call Boundary Bay Ground when ready.
