Phraseology
Hello everyone,
Im new to the forum, but looking for an ATC prospective on phraseology. I have 2 questions
1) Ive always been taught that you dont respond to an ATC call using "Roger" because of how often it is missued. Does anyone have a reference which says something to this effect?
2) You hear all the time about pilots responding with just the tail number. Is there anywhere that says this is an accepted practice?
I need actual FAA or military refrences if you have them..
Thanks!
Casey

"roger" only means "ok" but does not demonstrate that you understood correctly since you don't read back anything. I only use roger if there isn't another proper response and I have been given information that is not really an instruction. Check the AIM for US references.

Thanks for the responses.
"ROGER− I have received all of your last transmission. It should not be used to answer a question requiring a yes or a no answer."-aim.
So is the problem really that it gets misused so often, and that is why instructors suggest not using it rather than the fact that its wrong to use?
