CFC Radio Communication Procedures 4

Question 1

What is the purpose of using 'correction' during a radio transmission?

Accepted Answer

To indicate an error was made and provide the corrected information

Answer

The word 'correction' signals that an error occurred in the preceding transmission and that the correct information follows immediately.

Question 2

What does 'Cleared for the visual approach to runway 09' authorize a pilot to do?

Accepted Answer

Proceed visually to the runway using own navigation without following an instrument procedure

Answer

A visual approach clearance authorizes the pilot to proceed to the airport and land using visual references instead of a published instrument approach procedure.

Question 3

When a controller says 'Radar contact lost,' what should the pilot do?

Accepted Answer

Resume position reporting at compulsory reporting points

When radar contact is lost, the pilot reverts to procedural IFR separation and must report positions at compulsory or requested points.

Question 4

What does 'Number two, follow the Cessna on short final' mean for a pilot in the pattern?

Accepted Answer

The aircraft is second in sequence and must maintain visual contact and spacing behind the preceding Cessna

Answer

This sequence instruction tells the pilot they are second for landing and must visually acquire and follow the aircraft ahead.

Question 5

A pilot receives 'Fly heading 270, vectors to the ILS.' What does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Turn to and maintain a magnetic heading of 270 degrees; ATC is guiding the aircraft to intercept the ILS

Answer

The term 'vectors' means ATC will provide radar heading guidance to position the aircraft for the instrument approach.
