Radiotelephony Practical Tests

We conduct the following Radiotelephony Pratical Tests:

  • Restricted
  • General

The test is conducted on a simulator and the cadidate will be expected to manipulate all the radio controls and switches but will not be required to actually fly the simulator. The test is conducted as a mini LOFT excercise that includes elements such as Loss of Communication and Emergency Radio procedures. For the Restricted Certificate the LOF will start at a controlled airfield and and at an uncontrolled airfield. For the General Certficate, it will be an IFR flight from a controlled to a controlled airfield.

The candidate will also be required to demonstrate the ability to compile an ATC Flight Plan.
