Q

What are the two main tips for talking on the radio?

A

Speed: Keep the rate of speech constant, neither too fast nor too slow. Remember that the operator receiving your message may have to write it down.

Rhythm: Preserve the rhythm of ordinary conversation and word pronunciation. Also, avoid the introduction of unnecessary sounds such as “er” and “um” between words.

005 degrees - Heading zero zero five
350 degrees - Heading three five zero

58
Q

How are aerodrome elevations expressed?

A

In feet, prefixed by the expression “field elevation.”

150 - Field elevation one five zero
3500 - Field elevation three thousand five zero zero

59
Q

When should call signs be used?

A

A distinctive call sign is assigned to radio stations for identification purposes and should be used at least when initial contact is being established, and again when the communication is concluded. Aeronautical call signs should always be pronounced phonetically.

An aircraft’s call sign can be the same as the aircraft’s markings. The call sign and markings are assigned to the aircraft by Transport Canada.

60
Q

What call signs do Canadian air carriers use?

A

Their assigned company name, followed by the flight number or the last three characters of the aircraft registration.

AIR CANADA ONE FOUR NINE

61
Q

What call signs do Canadian Private aircraft use?

A

The manufacturer’s name or their type of aircraft, followed by the last four letters of the registration.

CESSNA ONE EIGHT TWO GOLF FOXTROT ALFA CHARLIE (Cessna-182 GFAC)

62
Q

What call signs do aeronautical ground stations use?

A

The name of the airport or its geographical location, followed if necessary, by a suitable word indicating the function of the station.

Examples:
Area control centre - Ottawa Centre
Surface movement control - Toronto Ground
Flight information service station - Ottawa Information
Clearance Delivery - Edmonton Delivery
Approach control radar arrivals - Ottawa Arrival
Approach control radar departures - Winnipeg Departure
Precision approach radar - Montreal Precision
Community aerodrome radio station - Eskimo Tower
Private aeronautical station - Radio
Company Dispatch - Dispatch

63
Q

What is the spoken when calling another station? When calling all stations?

A

The call sign identifier of the station being called is ALWAYS spoken first, followed by the words “THIS IS” and the calling station’s identifier.

Then the frequency on which the calling station is transmitting.

Then the invitation to reply - “OVER”

When calling all stations, the procedure is the same, excepts “ALL STATIONS” is said instead of a specific station call sign in the beginning.

64
Q

What is said when replying to a call?

A

CHARLIE KILO BRAVO
THIS IS TWO SIX
GO AHEAD (or STAND BY TWO MINUTES)

65
Q

What do you do if you are uncertain if the call is for your station or if you are unsure who’s calling?

A

When station operators hear a call but are uncertain that the call is intended for their station, they should not reply until the call has been repeated and understood.

When station operators hear a call but are not sure of the identity of the calling station, they should reply immediately using the words:
STATION CALLING
THIS IS TWO SIX
SAY AGAIN
OVER
66
Q

How do you terminate communications?

A

By saying OUT

CHARLIE KILO BRAVO
THIS IS TWO SIX
RECEIVED HEADING
OUT

67
Q

How do you fix a mistake in a transmission?

A

When an error has been made in transmission, the word “CORRECTION” should be spoken, followed by the last correct word or phrase and then by the corrected version of the transmission.

OVER OTTAWA AT TWO SEVEN CORRECTION TWO EIGHT PROCEED TO DOCK FOUR CORRECTION DOCK FIVE

68
Q

How do you get someone to repeat something?

A

If the receiving station requires the repetition of an entire message, the operator should use the words “SAY AGAIN. “ If repetition of only a portion of a message is required, the receiving station should use the following:

  1. SAY AGAIN ALL BEFORE … (the first word satisfactorily received); or
  2. SAY AGAIN … (word before missing portion) TO … (word after missing portion); or
  3. SAY AGAIN ALL AFTER … (last words satisfactorily received).
69
Q

What are the message handling procedures?

A

When transmitting a message, the radio station operator should:

  1. plan the content of the message before transmitting;
  2. listen briefly before transmitting to avoid interference with other transmutations;
  3. deliver the radio message clearly and concisely using standard phraseology whenever practical.
70
Q

What is the message handling format?

A

The message handling format generally consists of four parts:

  1. the call indicating the addressee and the originator;
  2. the addressee reply;
  3. the message;
  4. the acknowledgement or ending.
71
Q

What is the procedure when your radio station requires a signal (or radio) check?

A
  1. Call another aircraft or aeronautical ground station on any appropriate frequency that will not interfere with the normal working of other aircraft or ground stations, and request a signal check.
  2. The signal check consists of “SIGNAL (or RADIO) CHECK 1,2,3,4,5. HOW DO YOU READ ME? OVER.”
  3. Your station identification (call sign) should also be transmitted during such test transmissions.
  4. Signal checks should not last more than 10 seconds.
  5. When replying or receiving a reply to a signal check, the following readability scale should be used:
    - 1. Bad - unreadable
    - 2. Poor - readable now and then
    - 3. Fair - readable but with difficulty
    - 4. Good - readable
    - 5. Excellent - perfectly readable
72
Q

What are the types of communication checks?

A

Signal Check - If the test is made while the aircraft is airborne.
Preflight Check - If the test is made prior to departure.
Maintenance Check - If the test is made by ground maintenance.

73
Q

Distress

A

A condition of being threatened by grave and/or imminent danger and requiring immediate assistance.

74
Q

Urgency

A

A condition concerning the safety of an aircraft or other vehicle, or of someone on board or within sight, but which does not require immediate assistance.

75
Q

What procedures should be followed for distress communications?

A
  1. The first transmission of the distress call and message by an aircraft should be made on the air-ground frequency in use at the time. If the aircraft is unable to establish communications on the frequency in use, the distress call and message should be repeated on the aeronautical emergency frequency (121.5 MHz), or any other frequency available, in an effort to establish communications with any aeronautical ground station or other aircraft station.
  2. The spoken word for distress is “MAYDAY” and it should be used at the commencement of the first distress communication three times. Then THIS IS, then the aircraft call sign three times. It should not be addressed to a particular station.
    MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY
    THIS IS
    CHARLIE KILO BRAVO
    CHARLIE KILO BRAVO
    CHARLIE KILO BRAVO
  3. The distress message shall follow the distress call as soon as possible. It should include as many as possible of the following elements spoken distinctly and, if possible, in the following order:
    - 1. the distress signal “MAYDAY”;
    - 2. the call sign of the station in distress (once);
    - 3. the nature of the distress condition and kind of assistance required (i.e. what has happened);
    - 4. the intentions of the person in command;
    - 5. the particulars of its position (airspeed, altitude, heading);
    - 6. the number of persons on board and injuries (if applicable);
    - 7. any other information that may facilitate rescue; and
    - 8. the call sign of the station in distress.

In distress traffic, the distress signal “MAYDAY,” spoken once, shall priced ALL transmissions.

76
Q

What does MAYDAY indicate?

A

The distress signal indicates that a person or station sending the signal is:

  1. threatened by grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance; or
  2. aware that an aircraft, ship or other vehicle is threatened by grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.
77
Q

What is the priority of a distress call?

A

The distress call has absolute priority over all other transmissions. All stations which hear it shall immediately cease any transmission capable of interfering with distress traffic and continue to listen on the frequency used for the distress call.

78
Q

When an aircraft is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requires immediate assistance, the person in command should direct appropriate action as follows:

A
  1. transmit the distress call;
  2. transmit the distress message;
  3. listen for acknowledgement of receipt;
  4. exchange further distress traffic as applicable;
  5. activate automatic emergency equipment (i.e. emergency locator transmitter (ELT)) if available and when appropriate.
79
Q

An aircraft station that is not in distress should transmit the distress message when:

A
  1. the station in distress is not in a position to transmit the message; or
  2. the person in command of the station not in distress believes that further help is necessary; or
  3. although not in a position to render assistance, the aircraft station has heard a distress message which has not been acknowledged.

When a distress message is received and it is known that the aircraft is not in the immediate vicinity, sufficient time should be allowed before the distress message is acknowledged. This will permit stations nearer to the station in distress to reply.

80
Q

What actions should be taken by other stations hearing a distress message?

A
  1. Continue to monitor the frequency on which the distress message was received and, if possible, establish a continuous watch on appropriate distress and emergency frequencies.
  2. Notify any station with direction-finding or radar facilities and request assistance, unless it is known that this action has been, or will be, taken by the station acknowledging receipt of the distress message.
  3. Cease all transmissions that may interfere with the distress traffic.

Any station in the aeronautical mobile service that has knowledge of distress traffic, and cannot itself assist the station in distress, shall follow such traffic until it is evident that assistance is being provided. All stations that are aware of distress traffic, and that are not taking part in it, are forbidden to transmit on the frequencies being used for distress traffic until a message is received indicating that normal working traffic may be resumed (cancellation of distress).

81
Q

The acknowledgement of receipt of a distress message shall be given in the following form:

A
  1. the distress signal “MAYDAY”;
  2. the call sign of the station in distress (spoken three times);
  3. the words “THIS IS”;
  4. the call sign of the station acknowledging the receipt (spoken three times);
  5. the words “RECEIVED MAYDAY.”
82
Q

What actions are to be taken by stations acknowledging receipt of a distress message?

A
  1. Immediately acknowledge the distress message.
  2. Take control of the communications, or, specifically and clearly transfer that responsibility, advising the aircraft is a transfer is made.
  3. Take immediate action to ensure that all necessary information is provided as soon as possible to the Air Traffic Service (ATS) unit concerned, and the aircraft operating agency concerned (or its representative).
  4. Continue to monitor the frequency on which the distress message was received and, if possible, any other frequency that may be used by the station in distress.
  5. Warn other stations, as appropriate, in order to prevent the transfer of aeronautical traffic to the frequency of the distress communication.
  6. Cease all transmissions that may interfere with the distress traffic.
83
Q

How is a distress message relayed?

A

A distress message repeated by a station other than the station in distress shall transmit a signal comprising:

  1. the signal “MAYDAY RELAY” (spoken three times);
  2. the words “THIS IS”;
  3. the call sign of the station relaying the message (spoken three times);
  4. the distress signal “MAYDAY” (once);
  5. the particulars of the station in distress such as its location, nature of distress, number of persons on board, etc.
84
Q

How is silence imposed?

A

SEELONCE MAYDAY - if being imposed by station in distress.
SEELONCE DISTRESS - if being imposed by station not in distress.

Can be addressed to a particular call sign or all stations.

85
Q

How is distress cancelled?

A

When a station is no longer in distress, or when it is no longer necessary to observe radio silence (i.e. the rescue operation has concluded), the station that controlled the distress traffic shall transmit a message addressed to “ALL STATIONS” on the distress frequency(is) used, advising that normal working may resume. The proper procedure for cancelling a distress message is:

  1. the distress signal “MAYDAY” (once);
  2. the words “HELLO ALL STATIONS” (three times);
  3. the words “THIS IS”;
  4. the call sign of the station transmitting the message;
  5. the filing time of the message;
  6. the call sign of the station distress (once);
  7. the words “SEELONCE FEENEE.”

This procedure is mainly for the benefit of other stations so they can resume regular service. To ensure that search and rescue stations are advised that a station is no longer in distress, a normal call to the nearest aeronautical station detailing the reasons for cancelling the distress call MUST be made.

86
Q

What is the urgency signal?

A

PAN PAN spoken three times at the beginning of the first urgency communication.

It can be addressed to all stations or to a specific station.

87
Q

What is the priority of an urgency signal?

A

It has priority over all other communications except distress.

88
Q

What should a station do when it hears an urgency signal?

A

Stations that hear an urgency signal shall continue to listen for at least three minutes on the frequency which the signal was heard. After that, if no urgency message has been heard, an aeronautical ground station should, if possible, be notified of the receipt of the urgency signal and normal working may be resumed. All stations that hear the urgency signal must take care not to interfere with the urgency message which follows. Stations that are in communication on frequencies other than those used for the transmission of the urgency message may continue normal work without interruption provided that the urgency message is not addressed to all stations.

89
Q

What frequency should be used for a distress or urgency signal?

A

The first transmission of the distress call and message by an aircraft should be made on the air-ground frequency in use at the time. If the aircraft is unable to establish communications on the frequency in use, the message should be repeated on the aeronautical emergency frequency (121.5 MHz), or any other frequency available, in an effort to establish communications with any aeronautical ground station or other aircraft station.

90
Q

What is the process for and what should an urgency message contain?

A
