RT Question(s)
Hello folks,
I have my practical RT exam scheduled for this coming tuesday and I am quite nervous about it. I am getting better, but RT procedures still fill me with a childlike dread and there are some areas I still find quite confusing.
I am currently working my way through CAP413 (not for the first time!) and I am likely to have a few questions, many of which may be quite trivial. I have created this thread for the purpose of asking these questions and also to solicit any general advice on the RT exam or even just general RT tips that anybody would like to pass on.
My first explicit question is, which types of ground station can I obtain an FIS from? I assume that APPROACH and INFOMATION units can provide this service, what about RADIO stations? What about RADAR? Will they simply upgrade me to a RIS 'for free' (assuming I am equiped with a transponder)?
I suspect there will be more questions for me to pose, which is why I have titled the thread in the way that I have.
Thank for any time and experience you can spare.
