As a manned aircraft flies a standard traffic pattern toward landing, in what order do its self-announce radio calls typically progress?
Why: The FAA study guide's sequence of example broadcasts progresses from "...is entering the pattern, mid-field left down-wind for runway 18..." to "...left base, runway 18..." to "...final, runway 18..." — matching the aircraft's actual position as it flies the pattern toward landing.
Reverses the actual sequence shown in the source examples, which proceeds from pattern entry through base to final, not the other way around.
Understates that the examples follow a consistent, standard sequence tied to the aircraft's actual position in the pattern, not a random order.
