Sample RTR(A) Radio Telephony questions
A few questions from the bank, with the answer and explanation under each.
1. Full-scale CDI deflection on a standard VOR means the aircraft is at least how many degrees off the selected radial?
- 5°
- 10°
- 15°
- 20°
Show answer
Correct answer: B. 10°
Standard VOR CDI: full-scale deflection occurs at 10° either side of the selected radial.
2. The permanent reference manual of a State's aeronautical data is the:
- NOTAM
- AIC
- AIP
- SNOWTAM
Show answer
Correct answer: C. AIP
IP. The AIP (parts GEN/ENR/AD) is the permanent publication.
3. A sky wave can reach right around the world by:
- Following the ground
- Multiple hops between the ionosphere and the ground
- Travelling in a straight line
- Using a satellite
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Multiple hops between the ionosphere and the ground
Repeated refraction and ground reflection make multiple hops possible.
4. The numeral 5 is pronounced:
- Five
- FIFE
- Fiver
- Fifty
Show answer
Correct answer: B. FIFE
5 = "FIFE", altered for clarity.
5. Over the ocean, separation is primarily:
- By primary radar
- Procedural (time/Mach), with HF/CPDLC reporting
- By VHF vectoring
- Not provided
Show answer
Correct answer: B. Procedural (time/Mach), with HF/CPDLC reporting
No radar/VHF — separation is procedural, using position reports and the Mach-number technique.
