Geneva Departure, HB-CCR, 4000ft, unable to cross St. Prex VOR at 7000ft due to weight and high oil temperature, request to continue climb in VMC

You are able to obey later level restrictions on your further routing.
After LPS you receive a frequency change. On the new frequency ask immediately for lower level because you are entering a zone with moderate icing.

Swiss Radar, HB-CCR, FL120, request lower cruising level due to moderate icing

If Basle Approach proposes another type of approach your flight instructor wants you to make an ILS approach.

On the NDB approach you have an unstable ADF indication between Schupberg and Muri NDB. Ask for a homing.

Bern Tower, OH-CGW, NDB approach RWY 14, request QDM due to unstable ADF indication

When entering the runway, you see a thunderstorm north-east of the field. Ask for a right turn after departure.

After passing DENEL you have a failure indication of a cabin pressure valve. Ask for a precautionary descent to FL 130.

HB-VJJ, FL 180, request descent to FL130 due to cabin pressurization failure indication

You have a sick passenger on board. Ask Zurich Arrival to organize medical assistance.

HB-VJJ, request medical assistance for sick passenger after landing

At two miles final you pass a strong wind shear. Report this fact to the Tower after landing.

HB-VJJ, for your information, strong wind shear at 2 miles final

Inform Zurich Apron at first call that you want to go to ExecuJet parking.

During initial climb out a small aircraft crosses rather close. Report it to the controller.

SAZ 302, for your information, we just had a near miss with a small aircraft

After passing Sulz-VOR you receive an order from your operation centre to proceed to Geneva. Flight level 210 would be your preferred cruising level. Ask the controller for an appropriate clearance.

SAZ 302, diverting to Geneva due to operational reasons, request clearance and FL 210 for cruising

When passing waypoint BADEP you ask the controller to give you the latest weather information and runway conditions for Geneva.
