Appendix B B-1 APPENDIX B. GLIDER OPERATIONS Sample Glider Operations and Ultralight Aircraft Pattern Per AC 103-6, Ultralight Vehicle Operations—Air ports, Air Traffic Control, and Weather, in all radio communications, ultralight operators should state the word “ultralight” followed by the call letters. Finally, once you have completed your landing or have exited the area, it is good practice to let other aviators know that you are no longer airborne in the vicinity of the airport. For example, state, “Leesburg, Ultralight 12593U is clear of the Runway” or “Leesburg, Ultralight 12593U is 2 Miles South, Leaving the Area.”
