DGCA RTR(A) oral

Worked RT calls for the DGCA RTR(A) oral

304 calls in 12 sections, word for word from the oral.

The examiner asks you to make a call, then plays the controller back at you. These are the exchanges themselves, in the order a flight runs: what you say, what ATC says, and what you say next. Read the pilot lines out loud until the shape of each one is yours. Pick the part of the flight you are working on.
