Say It Right - Mastering Communication - Emergencies And Conclusion

Front 1

What frequency should you transmit on during an emergency?

Back 1

It often makes sense to remain on the same frequency, especially if you are already talking to ATC or to local pilots on a CTAF. Otherwise you can change to 121.5, the emergency frequency.

Front 2

In an emergency should you try to climb if possible and safe?

Back 2

Yes. VHF radios are line of sight. You buy yourself time, hazard avoidance, and improved radio communication

Front 3

When should you squawk 7700.

Back 3

Only in an emergency and if not already in contact with an ATC. (In an emergency, ATC may have you ident your current squawk.)

Front 4

You weren't already talking to an ATC. An emergency has occurred or you are in distress. Describe the essential information in your call when you initially contact the nearest ATC.

Back 4

Who you are (aircraft call sign)
Where you are (in relation to navaid or other landmark)
What is wrong (nature of emergency)
What you want (request or intentions)

Front 5

You are already talking to an ATC when an emergency occurs or you are in distress. Describe the essential information in your call when report the emergency.

Back 5

What is wrong (nature of emergency)
What you want (request or intentions)

Front 6

Describe your initial call when reporting an emergency.

Back 6

(Aircraft Call Sign), (location) at (altitude), emergency (what is wrong), (#) gallons fuel on board, (#) persons on board, (what you want)

Front 7

If you are running low on fuel, but it is not an emergency, what phrase should you use with ATC?

Back 7

Minimum Fuel

Front 8

What phrase should you use if you are so low on fuel that you have an emergency.

Back 8

Fuel Emergency

Front 9

Your radio has failed. What do you squawk?

Back 9

7600

Front 10

When in the air, what does a steady green light signal indicate?

Back 10

Cleared to land

Front 11

When in the air, what does a flashing green light signal indicate?

Back 11

Return to land. (To be followed by a steady light green signal.)

Front 12

When in the air, what does a steady red light signal indicate?

Back 12

Give way to other aircraft and continue circling.

Front 13

When in the air, what does a flashing red light signal indicate?

Back 13

Airport unsafe, do not land.

Front 14

When in the air or on the ground, what does an alternating red/green light signal indicate?

Back 14

General warning signal, exercise extreme caution.

Front 15

When on the ground, what does a steady green light signal indicate?

Back 15

Cleared for takeoff.

Front 16

When on the ground, what does a flashing green light signal indicate?

Back 16

Cleared to taxi

Front 17

When on the ground, what does a steady red light signal indicate?

Back 17

Stop

Front 18

When on the ground, what does a flashing red light signal indicate?

Back 18

Taxi clear of landing area or runway in use.

Front 19

When on the ground, what does a flashing white light signal indicate?

Back 19

Return to starting point on airport.

Front 20

True or False, Radio Communication is essential to safety and thus should be a pilot's top priority in the cockpit.

Back 20

False

Front 21

Most radio calls consist of four basic pieces of information--the four Ws. In the proper order they are:

Back 21

Who you are calling
Who you are
Where you are
What you want

Front 22

You are flying a Cessna 182 Skylane, N935FA, on a cross country VFR with flight following. During a handoff, the ideal call sign to use with the new flight controller is:

Back 22

Skylane 935FA. (State your specific aircraft model, if possible, instead of make.)

Front 23

The Pilot/Controller Glossary (P/CG) is an addendum to the __

Back 23

AIM (Aeronautical Information Manual)

Front 24

True or False? Temporarily disabling your radio's squelch function will allow you to pick up automated transmissions (ATIS, AWOS/ASOS) farther from the station.

Back 24

True

Front 25

Although there are several ways to contact flight services from the air, the common frequency is __.

Back 25

122.2

Front 26

When issuing aircraft advisories as part of VFR flight following, ATC gives the position of traffic (e.g., "one o'clock") relative to your aircraft's heading.

Back 26

False

Front 27

You call ATC to request permission to enter controlled airspace. The controller responds, "Skyhawk 1323K, stand by." Does this transmission allow you to enter the airspace. If so, what classes of controlled airspace?

Back 27

Yes, but only classes C and D.

Front 28

True or False, pilots are under no obligation to participate in the traffic sequencing provided by ATC in Terminal Radar Service Areas (TRSAs).

Back 28

True. Radio participation in TRSAs is completely voluntary--although strongly encouraged. TRSAs provide an extra measure of safety for busy class D airports.

Front 29

At non-towered airports, the appropriate runway for departure or landing is ultimately determined by whom?

Back 29

You - the pilot in command.

Front 30

After landing at a towered airport, you are instructed to "contact ground point seven." This means you should call Ground Control on frequency ___.

Back 30

121.7 (Ground control frequencies are typically 121.6 through 121.9)
