Re: Abeam the numbers

I have used "abeam the 18 numbers" before, I think most controllers and pilots would understand what you wanted to tell them. It's like "turn towards the 18 numbers" to an aircraft on a base leg or modified straight-in.

But, if your instructor says "don't say that", then don't say it. Even if you prove your instructor wrong, you're not helping your relationship with him. Do it his way, get checked out, then do whatever you want.
