When asking for a repeat of a message, the appropriate phrase to use is "SAY AGAIN." This phrase indicates that you would like the speaker to repeat what they just said. It is a clear and concise way to express your request for clarification or repetition without any ambiguity.

The term "CORRECTION" is used when an error has been made in the transmission and the correct version is provided.

The time given in aeronautical communications is UTC. UTC stands for Coordinated Universal Time and is a standardized time system used in aviation and other industries worldwide. It is based on atomic time and is not affected by time zones or daylight saving time changes. Using UTC ensures consistency and accuracy in communication and coordination between different regions and time zones in the aviation industry.

The phrase "AFFIRMATIVE" is the correct answer because it is commonly used to express agreement or to confirm a positive response. In communication, especially in military or aviation contexts, "AFFIRMATIVE" is used to indicate a positive or "yes" response to a question or instruction. It is the opposite of "NEGATIVE," which indicates a negative or "no" response. "ROGER" is used to acknowledge receipt of a message, while "WILCO" means "will comply" and is used to indicate understanding and intention to follow an instruction.

The correct answer is "ABORT". When ATC instructs an aircraft to "ABORT", it means that the aircraft should immediately stop its take-off procedure. This instruction is given in situations where it is necessary to abort the take-off for safety reasons, such as an obstacle on the runway or a potential collision. The word "ABORT" is a clear and concise command that pilots are trained to understand and follow without hesitation.

When ATC instructs you to "RESET SQUAWK," it means that you need to change the transponder code on your control unit. The correct action to take in this situation is to reselect the numbers on the control unit. This will allow you to input a new transponder code as instructed by ATC.

The ATC message "DISTRESS TRAFFIC ENDED" signifies that normal ATC is resumed after an emergency. This means that the emergency situation has been resolved, and air traffic control operations can return to their regular procedures. This message indicates that the distress situation has been resolved and there is no longer a need for special emergency protocols.

Distress is the correct answer because it accurately describes the state of an aircraft in serious and/or imminent danger, requiring immediate assistance. When an aircraft is in distress, it means that it is experiencing a critical situation such as engine failure, loss of control, or any other emergency that poses a threat to the safety of the aircraft and its occupants. Distress signals are used to communicate this urgent need for assistance to air traffic control and other aircraft in the vicinity.

The phrase "ALL STATIONS" is an example of a general call. In this context, it is used to address or notify all stations or individuals within a particular communication network or system. It is a way of broadcasting a message to everyone involved, ensuring that the message reaches all intended recipients.

The term "RECLEARED" means that a change has been made to your last clearance and this new clearance supersedes your previous clearance.

The phrase "STANDBY" means to wait and expect a call. It implies that the person should remain available and ready to receive a call or further instructions. It suggests that the person should not proceed with any action until they are contacted.

The correct answer is "BREAK" because in radio communication, the term "BREAK" is used to indicate a pause or interruption in the message. It is commonly used to separate different portions of a message or to emphasize important information. The other options, such as "BREAK BREAK" or "I SAY AGAIN" are not typically used to separate portions of a message in radio communication. "UMM" is not a phrase used for this purpose either.

The Q code that is based on airport elevation is QFE. QFE is a term used in aviation to refer to the atmospheric pressure at a specific airport's reference point. It is used to set the altimeter to indicate the height above the airport's reference point rather than above mean sea level. This is particularly useful for aircraft taking off or landing at an airport, as it provides a more accurate indication of their height above the ground. QNH, QFF, and QUJ are not specifically related to airport elevation.

The selection of the code 7600 on a transponder indicates loss of communications. This code is used in aviation to alert air traffic control that the aircraft is experiencing a communication failure. By selecting this code, the pilot notifies ATC that they are unable to communicate via radio, allowing ATC to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the aircraft and other air traffic in the area.

When an aircraft receives the message "CHECK," it means that they should examine a system or procedure. This could be a prompt to inspect and ensure the proper functioning of a specific system or to review and verify a particular procedure. It is important for the aircraft to thoroughly examine the identified system or procedure to ensure safety and efficiency in their operations.

The instruction "ORBIT" from ATC means that the aircraft should carry out one 360 degree turn only. This means that the aircraft should make a complete circle in the same direction, without reversing the direction of the turn. This instruction is often given by air traffic control to temporarily delay an aircraft or to provide separation between aircraft in busy airspace.

The correct answer is "ONE THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FEET". This is the correct way to speak the altitude of 13,500 feet in words.

When ATC instructs you to "RESET SQUAWK," the correct action to take is to reselect the numbers on the control unit. This means that you need to enter the correct squawk code given by ATC into the transponder control unit. By doing this, you ensure that your aircraft's transponder is transmitting the correct code, allowing ATC to accurately identify your aircraft on their radar.

If you are unable to contact a station on a designated frequency, the best course of action is to try another appropriate frequency. This is because there could be various reasons for the communication failure, such as interference or a technical issue. By trying another frequency, you increase the chances of establishing communication with the station. Starting to transmit blind without knowing if the frequency is appropriate or landing at the nearest aerodrome may not be the most effective or safe options. Transmitting words twice may also not be helpful if there is a problem with the frequency itself.

The correct answer is 117.95 to 135.195 MHz. This range falls within the VHF (Very High Frequency) spectrum, which is commonly used for various forms of communications, including radio broadcasting, air traffic control, and amateur radio. The given frequency range is within the accepted VHF range and is used for specific applications such as aviation communication.

The term "DISREGARD" means to ignore or pay no attention to something. It implies that the information or instruction given should be disregarded or not taken into consideration.

The correct answer suggests that when the readability is "Readable now and then," it means that the transmission can be understood intermittently. This implies that there are moments when the message is clear and easy to comprehend, but there are also instances when it becomes difficult to understand. It indicates an inconsistent level of readability throughout the communication.

The correct answer is "Listen out on frequency." The instruction "MONITOR..." refers to the act of actively listening for any signals or communications on a specific frequency. It implies that the person should pay attention and be ready to receive any messages or information being transmitted on that frequency. It does not involve establishing communications or watching out for visual signals, but rather focuses on the act of listening.

The correct answer is VMC/IMC. VMC stands for Visual Meteorological Conditions, which refers to weather conditions that allow for visual flight rules (VFR) operations, meaning the pilot can navigate and control the aircraft by visual references outside the cockpit. IMC stands for Instrument Meteorological Conditions, which refers to weather conditions that require instrument flight rules (IFR) operations, meaning the pilot must rely on instruments to navigate and control the aircraft. Therefore, the reply to "REPORT FLIGHT CONDITIONS" should indicate whether the conditions are suitable for VFR or IFR flight, hence VMC/IMC.

When making a blind transmission, it is important to transmit the message twice. This is done to ensure that the message is received clearly and accurately by the intended recipient. By repeating the transmission, any potential errors or distortions in the first transmission can be minimized or corrected. Additionally, transmitting the message twice increases the chances of the recipient receiving the message, especially in situations where there may be interference or poor signal quality.

If a transponder is unserviceable before an IFR departure, the pilot may proceed with the flight with ATC permission. This means that even though the transponder is not functioning properly, the pilot can still continue the flight as long as they have received permission from Air Traffic Control. This allows ATC to be aware of the situation and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the flight and other aircraft in the airspace.

ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) can be found on either a discrete VHF frequency or a VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) frequency. Discrete VHF frequencies are specifically designated for communication between pilots and air traffic control (ATC), while VOR frequencies are used for navigation purposes. Therefore, ATIS can be accessed by pilots using either type of frequency. The other options, "Discrete VHF only," "VOR frequency only," and "Any ATC frequency," are incorrect as they do not encompass all the possible frequencies on which ATIS can be found.

The correct answer is Callsign, Position, and Time. These three pieces of information are crucial in a position report as they provide essential details about the aircraft's identity, current location, and the time at which the report is being made. Without these details, the report would be incomplete and insufficient for accurate tracking and communication purposes.

Distress is the condition that defines the state of an aircraft in imminent danger. Distress refers to a situation where the aircraft is in serious and immediate danger and requires immediate assistance. It is used to indicate that there is an immediate threat to the safety of the aircraft, its occupants, or both. This signal is typically used in emergency situations such as engine failure, severe weather conditions, or any other life-threatening situation.

The phrase "BRAKING CO-EFFICIENT 20" from ATC indicates that the braking action is poor. A braking coefficient of 20 suggests that the surface has low friction, making it difficult for vehicles to stop effectively. This could be due to various factors such as wet or icy conditions, loose gravel, or oil on the road. Drivers should exercise caution and expect longer stopping distances when encountering this braking coefficient.
