At an untowered field, saying the airport name at the beginning and end of each transmission is standard phraseology.

At an untowered field, saying the airport name at the beginning and end of each transmission is standard phraseology.
In phonetics?q
Typically, at an untowered airport, it's something closer to "{airport_colloquial_name} traffic, {your_aircraft_type} {your_n_number}. {MESSAGE}, {airport_colloquial_name} traffic"
So, "Columbia traffic, Cessna november one two three alfa bravo [N123AB], three mile final, full stop, runway one eight, Columbia traffic"
At a towered airport, you'd say "Columbia tower" instead, and you don't have to repeat it at the end of your message.
