Selective Calling (SELCAL)
Which mode must be selected for a controller to send and receive on a selected frequency?
Traffic
Which function allows aircraft to hear aircraft broadcasting on a frequency different from the frequency that the aircraft is monitoring?
Re-transmit
Which data link text allows pilots to communicate using text-based messaging?
Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC)
Definition of what a CTAF is?
Common Traffic Advisory Frequency: A designated frequency on which pilots make positional broadcasts when operating in the vicinity of a non-controlled aerodrome
What phrase would be used by the pilot of VH-ABC approaching Ayers Rock for landing to advise you they are leaving your frequency for the CTAF frequency 128.9?

Which frequency must be used by pilots if no specific CTAF frequency is allocated to the broadcast area around an aerodrome?
MULTICOM: 126.7MHz
In general terms, when must HF communications equipment be carried on an aircraft?
For those operations outside VHF coverage, where the maintenance of a continuous two way communications watch with an airways operation unit is mandatory, the carriage of suitable HF frequencies is required
How many frequencies are allocated to each domestic HF network?
3
How many frequencies are allocated to each Brisbane international frequency?
5
Which automatic broadcast service would provide METAR information on VHF frequency 119.75 to en-route traffic in the vicinity of Mount William?
AERIS (Automatic En Route Information Service)
Which automatic broadcast service provides weather info on HF frequencies to international flights in the Australian FIR?
VOLMET
Name three ways the aeronautical information service may be provided:
o ATC initiated FIS
o Automatic broadcast services
o On-request services
In which classes of airspace are on-request flight information services provided and on which ATC frequencies?
ALL classes of airspace on ATC VHF or HF frequencies
Which phrase must pilots requesting aeronautical information services prefix their request?
“FLIGHTWATCH”
An IFR aircraft is unable to contact ATC on VHF or HF when taxiing at a non-towered aerodrome. The aircraft proceeds on a broadcast basis what conditions must be met to allow this?
o In the case of an RPT, CHTR or AWK flight, the pilot is assured of radio contact with their operator, or a representative of their operator who has immediate access to a serviceable telephone, until contact is made with ATC, or
o For flights other than RPT, a SARTIME for departure has been established with a maximum of 30 minutes from EOBT
Define ATIS:
Automatic Terminal Information Service: the provision of current, routine information to arriving and departing aircraft by means of continuous and repetitive broadcasts
Which aspect of the ATIS must the pilot advise to ATC upon first contact of approach?
The ATIS alphabetical code letter
When the tower is shut, which alphabetical letter is used for ATIS?
Z = ZULU
Formulate an ATIS based on the following conditions:
o Previous ATIS is information D
o ILS approaches are currently being issued for RWY35
o Visibility is greater than 10km
o 2 oktas of cloud at 2500 ft
o 4 oktas of cloud at 4000 ft
o Current temperature is 8 degrees
o Wind is 330 degrees at 10 knots
o Local QNH is 1013
o ATIS YBAS: E
o APCH: EXPECT INSTRUMENT APPROACH
o RWY: 35
o WIND: 330/10
o VIS: GT 10km
o CLD: FEW025 SCT040
o TEMP: 8
o QNH: 1013
Flight data: What category of message would be sent from Melbourne to inform Brisbane that Qantas93 will now be operated by the aircraft with the registration VH-ABC rather than VH-DEF?
This change of aircraft has resulted in a 24 minute delay for the aircraft departure. Is a delay message required?
Modification/Change Message (CHG)
NO, a delay message is required when an aircraft is, or will be, delayed for 30 minutes or more
What order of priority should messages be distributed?
o 1 = SS emergency
o 2 = DD urgency
o 3 = FF movement & control
o 4 = GG flight information services
o 5 = KK administrative
All AFTN messages have the same format. What are the five main elements?
o 1 = Header
o 2 = Address Line
o 3 = Originator Line
o 4 = Text/Message Detail
o 5 = End of Message
