Legally you only need to inform a "Tower" of your experimental nature.
er the FAR's anyway.
Thats all I do, just the tower gets Experimental prepended to my call
ign. For all other comm with the ATC I use Velocity 647JA on initial
all up, and 7JA after that.

 On initial call to any ATC controller, must include the word
 "Experimental"
 It can be "Experimental 12345" or
 "Experimental Velocity 12345"
 Note: if the N number is less than 5 digits/numerals, then N number
 should be expressed as "November" i.e. "Experimental Velocity November
 12 Alpha"
 Use of the word "Velocity" clues the controller as to the type of
 aircraft - and, it implies that you would like future exchanges of
 words to be preceeded by the word "Velocity".
 The exchange should idealy go something like this ...
 "Orlando Approach, Experimental Velocity November Niner Four Victor
 Alpha, (followed by message)".
 The reply from Orlando should be "Velocity Niner Four Victor Alpha,
 (message)"
 Continued conversations with this same controller allows you to drop
 the word "Experimental" from the exchange.
 However, when you are handed off to another controller, begin the
 exchange using "Experimental".

     Since we are talking about what to use when filing, I thought I’d
     ask about what to use when speaking to ATC. If VELO is good to go
     for filing, can a Velocity pilot use “Velocity, (tail numbers)”
     when first contacting ATC instead if “Experimental, (Tail
     numbers)”? Does anyone use both “Velocity” and Experimental” when
     first contacting ATC? Does the word “Experimental” need to be in
     all transmissions with ATC or can it just be in the first
     transmission, if it is needed at all?
