Reading a prior post referencing landing and take off direction I
noticed reference "from" one direction and "to" another direction
which can play tricks in your mind. When operating in a traffic
pattern use of proper references can reduce potential confusion so I
thought this might be a good time for some basic procedures.

On the initial position reporting and intentions, reporting "5 miles
North in bound landing 18" is short, clear and specific. Terminology
on runway direction can be confusing - normally when stated you
reference the landing or takeoff direction or the runway #. Example:
Green Ultralight Landing Runway 18 followed by the name of the
facility, say Short Stop. In the case where you don't know the exact
runway heading but do (should) know the primary direction state
landing to the South. By keeping to the same reference points it
makes things safer.
