Part 2: R/T practical part
Part 2: R/T practical part
The VFR R/T-testing scenario is a simulation of an actual flight.
AEPS developed various scenarios for the practical part of the VFR R/T-testing, which are revamped on a regular interval.
The scenarios contain information for the candidate regarding:
- Departure and arrival airport/aerodrome, route, altitude
- Radio-frequencies available (GND, TWR, Departure, Flight Information, Aerodrome Radio…)
- Map of the situation
- VFR-Reporting points
The simulation of the R/T focuses on:
- Clearance (squawk, destination, QNH, reporting point after take-off…)
- Taxi-clearance
- Run-up
- Switch to TWR frequency
- Line-up and take-off clearance
- Reporting leaving the CTR
- Switch to Flight Information Service
- Switching to the aerodrome frequency
- Landing instructions
- Sequence in the traffic pattern
- Reporting points in the traffic pattern
My tips:
- This exercise is very important to demonstrate your knowledge and ease of utilization of the ICAO standard phraseology.
- For acronyms and abbreviations, you may be asked to explain their meaning.
- The virtual flight may include an emergency situation.
