What must you include in position reports when ATC calls 'Radar contact lost. Resume normal position reporting.'?

1) Time of report, Altitude, True Airspeed, Ambient temperature and name of the next two mandatory reporting points.
2) Aircraft ID, name of reporting fix, altitude, and the next two mandatory reporting points along your route.
3) Position, Time, Altitude, Type of Flight Plan, ETA to next reporting point, Name of reporting point beyond that.
4) Identification, Position, Time, Altitude, ETA to next reporting point, Name of reporting point beyond that.

Final answer:

When ATC calls 'Radar contact lost. Resume normal position reporting.', you must include identification, position, time, altitude, ETA to next reporting point, and name of reporting point beyond that.

Step-by-step explanation:

When ATC calls 'Radar contact lost. Resume normal position reporting.', you must include the following in position reports:

  1. Identification: This refers to your aircraft ID.
  2. Position: This refers to your current position.
  3. Time: This is the time of your report.
  4. Altitude: This is the altitude at which you are flying.
  5. ETA to next reporting point: This is the estimated time of arrival to the next reporting point.
  6. Name of reporting point beyond that: This refers to the name of the reporting point that you will reach after the next one.

So the correct answer would be option 4) Identification, Position, Time, Altitude, ETA to next reporting point, Name of reporting point beyond that.

When ATC loses radar contact and requests normal position reporting, the report must include the aircraft's Identification, Position, Time, Altitude, ETA to the next reporting point, and Name of the next reporting point.

When Air Traffic Control (ATC) says 'Radar contact lost. Resume normal position reporting,' the pilot must include in their position reports: Identification, Position, Time, Altitude, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) to the next reporting point, and the Name of the reporting point beyond that. So, the correct answer to your question is option 4.
