It's been a while since I've done one, so I might be a little off on the exact terminology, but this will answer your question. The controller will tell you exactly when to stop acknowledging transimissions, and the controller will tell you when to talk again.AngelKing said:I am a civilian who flys into military fields. My question is this. At what point during a PAR approach do you stop readback of instructions or do you readback everything? If/when you do stop readback, when do you start readback again?

Ah...the infamous "Right Gen Fail / No X-Over" EP in the venerable T-38A.ONEWAY said:AK et al,
here's yet another PAR (or ASR) scenario....
If one has lost all hdg indications (total loss of elec pwr etc..), in many military aircraft, often all that one has left, are his turn needle and stby att gyro. So, in IMC conditions, one's pucker factor increases slightly..While this may seem far-fetched to some, due to the massively over-redundant technologies installed in today's modern fleet, the old equipment is still susceptible to such dire situations.
Anyway, one would request a "NO-GYRO" GCA (ground controlled approach -- either a PAR or an ASR) from ATC.. (of course, you'd be using your stby radio if available, or the famed PRC-90....And instead of flying particular hdgs, the GCA controller would simply say, "Make all turns standard rate until further advised.... TURN LEFT...STOP TURN..............Now make all turns half standard rate...TURN RIGHT....STOP TURN...etc." Again, you'd read back all instructions verbatim until told to stop doing so..
Hopefully, the GCA'er can lead you into VMC conditions to land saferly...
For those of us that teach flight school, this is a daily manuever. C'mon down to south texas and you'll hear us on the radio (if you have a UHF scanner!)
so long!
