RT question
Years of airband listening will hopefully help me in this exam tomorrow. I didn't realise until starting the book that the spacing had changed to 8.33khz though from 25khz, when did this happen?
Can someone carify the following...
I always thought frequencies were spoken to 2 decimal places e.g
123.750 Leeds Bradford approach would be wun two tree dayseemal seven fife
Book 7 of the air pilots manual states that in fact all 6 digits are pronounced unless the last 2 digets are zero in which case you pronounce the first 4. 119.000 wun wun niner dayseemal zero for example.
Now I took this on board and went to do the questions in the confuser.
Question 29- The correct transmission and pronunciation of the RTF frequency 125.875MHz would be:
A) 125.875 spoken as "WUN HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIFE DAYSEEMAL AIT SEVEN FIFE"
B) 125.875 spoken as "WUN TOO FIFE DAYSEEMAL AIT SEVEN FIFE"
C) 125.87 spoken as "WUN HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIFE DAYSEEMAL AIT SEVEN"
D) 125.87 spoken as "WUN TOO FIFE DAYSEEMAL AIT SEVEN"
So before reading the book I would have answered D.
I have read the book so I put B. According to the confuser this is wrong and the answer is D.
Am I missing something? What will the real exam expect to have as the correct answer?
