CPL Communications and Radio Telephony 2

Question 1

When making a position report on an IFR flight over a compulsory reporting point, which element is NOT required?

Accepted Answer

Fuel remaining

Answer

Standard IFR position reports include aircraft ID, position, time, altitude, next reporting point, and ETA — fuel remaining is not a compulsory element of a routine position report.

Question 2

What is the correct way to transmit the altitude 10,500 feet in radio communication?

Accepted Answer

Ten thousand five hundred feet

Answer

ICAO and FAA radio telephony conventions transmit altitudes by saying the number as a whole, so 10,500 is spoken as 'ten thousand five hundred feet.'

Question 3

In which situation is a pilot required to contact ATIS before calling approach control at a busy terminal?

Accepted Answer

Whenever ATIS is available and the flight is approaching that airport

Answer

Pilots should obtain the current ATIS information before initial contact with approach control whenever ATIS is operating, reducing controller workload by not requiring them to relay routine information.

Question 4

What does the phrase 'WILCO' mean in aviation radio communication?

Accepted Answer

I have received your message and will comply

Answer

'WILCO' is a contraction of 'will comply,' indicating that the pilot has received the message and intends to carry out the instruction given.

Question 5

A commercial pilot hears another aircraft transmit 'PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN, PAN-PAN.' What should the pilot do?

Accepted Answer

Keep the frequency clear and listen for ATC instructions

Answer

Upon hearing a PAN-PAN urgency call, other aircraft should maintain radio silence on that frequency unless they can provide assistance, and follow ATC direction for handling.
