Final answer:

The proper order when giving an IFR Position Report includes specific information that is communicated to air traffic control.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proper order when giving an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) Position Report includes specific information that is communicated to air traffic control. Here is the order:

  1. Identification: Begin with your aircraft call sign.
  2. Position: State your current position using the name of a navigation aid or a fix.
  3. Altitude: Report your altitude, including any changes or clearances.
  4. Time: Provide the time of the report in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
  5. Heading: Indicate your current heading or the direction of flight.
  6. Speed: Report your ground speed in knots.
  7. Next Fix: If applicable, provide the name of the next navigation aid or fix.

For example: "Cessna 1234 is at FL250, estimating ABC VOR at 1350Z, heading 180, groundspeed 160 knots."
