RTR(A) Classes in Ahmedabad: Radio Telephony Restricted

What the syllabus covers

- Radio propagation and the frequency bands used in aviation
- Aerodrome, approach and area control communication procedures
- Distress, urgency and emergency communications
- Radio failure procedures
- Q-codes and the phonetic alphabet
- Licensing requirements and the privileges of the certificate
Where candidates lose marks
- It is examined separately from the DGCA theory papers, and it must be held before the licence is issued, so it is easy to leave too late.
- Phraseology is a performance, not a recall test. Practising out loud is the only preparation that works.
- The Part II oral covers radio theory that candidates assume is only in Technical General.
