I am currently training for my PPL and I really enjoy flying in towered airports. I guess I'm just weird like that. I however still need LOTS of practice in it. Thank God ALL of the controllers I've dealt with have been patient with me, and I have not even stated I'm a student pilot. But anyways, couple questions.
1.If for example I am set to land runway 27 and I am on a heading of 090 5sw of the airport and cleared for left base runway 27, do I need to wait for clearance to turn base?
2.Also, when I am told radar contact is established, do I need to acknowledge it?
3.And finally, when flying above B,C,or D airspace, do I need to contact approach to do this? The reason I ask is because my instructor said that I do but when I did my XC I asked for vectoring through class D and they told me I had already contacted approach and did not have to ask for this since I was above the airspace.
4.Oh and one more thing, kind of a biggy. I accidentally contacted 121.5 instead of 121.05 and some guy with the most serious, scary voice told me it was the emeregency frequency and to get off immediately (I know what 121.5 is I just read it wrong) Can my instructor or I get in trouble for this?
