DGCA CPL Radio Telephony — question bank and syllabus
Radio Telephony (RTR(A)) — phraseology, standard words and numbers, distress and urgency, and the regulatory framework behind the licence examined orally alongside your CPL theory.
What is in this paper
Every chapter we cover for Radio Telephony, with how many questions sit behind each one.
These counts come straight out of the question bank and are regenerated whenever it changes —
they are not a claim, they are what is there today.
Sample questions, answered and explained
A few real questions from this paper, with the answer marked and the reasoning
written out — the same explanations you get inside the app. Everything else is behind a free

0601004 · International Telecommunication Convention, Radio Regulations and Definitions
Aviation R/T communication is governed by:
- ADOC 9432 Manual of Radiotelephony
- BICAO Annex 10, Volume II - Aeronautical Telecommunications
- CConvention of the ITU (1992)
Why that is the answer
Aviation radiotelephony is governed by **ICAO Annex 10, Volume II — Aeronautical Telecommunications**.
Volume II lays down the communication procedures, including the R/T procedures and phraseology that pilots and controllers must follow.
0601005 · International Telecommunication Convention, Radio Regulations and Definitions
ICAO Doc 9432 is the:
- AManual of Radiotelephony
- BAir Traffic Management Manual
- CManual of Communication
Why that is the answer
ICAO **Doc 9432** is the **Manual of Radiotelephony**.
It explains standard R/T procedures and phraseology with practical examples, to help pilots and controllers communicate clearly and without confusion.
0601006 · International Telecommunication Convention, Radio Regulations and Definitions
On which frequency band is ADS-B received by satellite?
- A117.975-137 MHz
- B1087.7-1092.3 MHz
- C1.5/1.6 GHz
Why that is the answer
Satellite-based ADS-B uses the **1087.7–1092.3 MHz** band, centred on **1090 MHz**.
ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast) is where an aircraft automatically broadcasts its own position, altitude and identity. Satellites can pick these signals up over oceans and remote areas where there is no ground radar.
0601008 · International Telecommunication Convention, Radio Regulations and Definitions
In future, part of the traditional VHF voice band may be used for:
- AILS Glide Path
- BIntercontinental long range voice communications
- CSupporting next-generation satellite data links for air traffic management (ATM)
Why that is the answer
Part of the VHF band may be used to **support next-generation data links for air traffic management (ATM)**.
As more communication moves from voice to digital data, some of the spectrum once used only for voice can carry these data services.
