Compulsory reporting point

A compulsory reporting point is a published position, often a landmark, where VFR pilots must report to ATC or the aerodrome. Reporting points are named by letters such as November or Whiskey.

German term

Pflichtmeldepunkt

They are shown on the aerodrome's VFR approach chart and define entry and exit routes for controlled and many uncontrolled aerodromes. On-request reporting points only require a report when asked.
