What happens when you call? Are you talking to a controller in between him giving his instructions? Is there someone up there that isn't actively controlling and is able to chat on the line? |
Airnav has the phone number for the facilities on it at least the number for my facility is accurate. Your flight school should have the number for sure. If they don't, call up clearance delivery, and ask for the tower number after you land.
At my facility, you will call the secretary's desk and either talk to her or leave a message. They can either transfer you or take your number for someone to call you back as soon as possible.
If someone calls direct to the tower, most likely not the number listed on airnav, and I am on clearance and there is no stand alone CIC, I will answer it and talk to whoever is calling. Most people do the same and if we are super busy, take a number and a name to call back later.
