As Arcane said, most of the HF (Selcal/FIR Boundary) calls are done away with!
Even Emergency/Urgency Q's were little to none.
Instead they now try and quiz you on Callsigns ; G8 (GoAir) n 6E (Ifly) being crowd favourites!!!
Is a candidate even supposed to know such things in order to qualify for a radio telephony licence ??
I mean ... thats so retarded !
Imagine if such an exam were to be conducted in the US by the FCC ! The poor candidate would have to learn each and every airport's Identifier (more than 19,000 of them
) and all the airlines's call signs ! American, United, Southwest, Continental, FedEx, UPS, Skywest, Alaska Air, NorthWest, JetBlue, Delta PHEW !!! ...
Now .. just in case, I better start studying who exactly built each airport in India and also whom it is named after! ummm Delhi - GMR (Indira Gandhi Intl), Mumbai (???) Chatrapati Shivaji Intl ..
