  1. What does the aviation radio phrase 'Roger' indicate?

    Answer: I have received all of your last transmission

    'Roger' means the transmission was received in full; it does not indicate agreement or compliance.

  2. When a remote pilot needs to request a waiver to operate in Class B airspace, communication with which facility is required?

    Answer: The controlling ATC facility (usually TRACON) for that Class B airspace

    Authorization to operate UAS in Class B airspace must come from the ATC facility with jurisdiction, typically a TRACON, either via LAANC or a Part 107 waiver.

  3. What is the meaning of the radio phrase 'Negative' in ATC communications?

    Answer: No, or permission is not granted, or that is not correct

    'Negative' is used in aviation to mean 'no,' to deny permission, or to indicate that information is incorrect.

  4. A remote pilot monitoring the CTAF hears an aircraft announce 'left downwind, Runway 27.' This tells the pilot that the aircraft:

    Answer: Is on the left side of the traffic pattern heading parallel to Runway 27 in the landing direction

    'Left downwind' means the aircraft is flying parallel to the landing runway in the opposite direction, on the left side of the pattern.

  5. Under what circumstance may a remote pilot contact a Flight Service Station (FSS)?

    Answer: To file NOTAMs or obtain weather briefings and aeronautical information

    FSSs provide weather briefings, accept NOTAM filings, and offer aeronautical information services; they do not issue ATC clearances.

  6. What is the proper way to state the altitude '10,500 feet' in radio communication?

    Answer: Ten thousand five hundred

    Altitudes are typically stated as 'ten thousand five hundred' in plain English in US aviation communications.

  7. Which document provides the CTAF, tower, ground, and ATIS frequencies for a specific airport?

    Answer: Chart Supplement (CS) / Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD)

    The Chart Supplement (formerly A/FD) lists all published frequencies for each airport including CTAF, tower, ground control, and ATIS.
