HK PPL Radiotelephony study plan

Recite from memory the standard ICAO/HK radiotelephony call structure (station called, station calling, type, position, intention) and apply it aloud in 20 scripted transmissions

Pronounce and write out the ICAO spelling alphabet, digit-by-digit number pronunciation, and standard word list (ROGER, WILCO, AFFIRM, STANDBY, DISREGARD, SAY AGAIN, CORRECTION, I SAY AGAIN) with zero errors on a self-test

Transcribe 10 short ATC-style clearances by ear from read-aloud practice and read them back verbatim using correct readback phraseology

Distinguish and correctly use the four clearance types (line-up, take-off, landing, backtrack) in written scenarios without mixing them up

Sequence the full ground-movement exchange from engine start request through taxi clearance, holding point, line-up and take-off, writing each expected ATC reply

Read back taxi clearances including runway designators, holding points, and conditional instructions (e.g. HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 07) with correct emphasis and no omissions

Identify and use the correct phraseology for crossing an active runway, backtracking, and vacating at a specified taxiway

Draft the standard transmissions for circuit operations: downwind, base, final, touch-and-go, and full-stop, in the order you would make them

Compose departure clearances including SID name, initial climb, and frequency change, then practise reading them back in under 5 seconds

Build a position-report template for en-route flight (position, time, altitude, next position and ETA) and apply it to 5 invented legs

Practise requesting and receiving altitude changes, heading changes, and frequency transfers, using correct conditional and confirmatory phraseology

Explain when a pilot may abbreviate readback and when full readback is mandatory, and apply the rule to 10 sample clearances

Assemble the arrival sequence from first contact with approach through descent, radar vectors, and handover to tower, writing the expected ATC calls at each stage

Practise joining the circuit from the en-route phase, including position reporting and joining instructions, in 10 spoken repetitions

Use correct phraseology for speed control, level restrictions, and 'expect' instructions, and read each back accurately

Identify the standard phraseology for a go-around and for a missed-approach instruction, and state who initiates each

Recite the distress and urgency prefixes (MAYDAY, PAN PAN) with the full content order (station, callsign, nature, intentions, position, altitude, persons on board) and apply it to 5 written scenarios

State the correct procedure for declaring an emergency, including when to change frequency, when to squawk 7700, and when to silence the transponder

Explain and apply the communication-failure procedure for IMC and VMC, including squawk 7600, and recite the actions in order

Draft the correct transmissions for a radio failure after take-off and for a loss of communication in the circuit

Rehearse full distress and urgency scenarios aloud under time pressure, delivering the MAYDAY call in under 30 seconds with no missing items

Practise the phraseology for requesting and giving assistance, relay messages, and 'RELAY' transmissions between stations

Review and correct the 10 most common readback errors you have made in weeks 1-5, rewriting each correctly

Apply standard phraseology to non-routine situations such as diversion, fuel emergency, and medical emergency on board

Run three full end-to-end simulated flights (ground, departure, en-route, arrival) with no reference material, recording each and noting every hesitation

Correct every error found in the week-7 recordings and re-record the weakest segment until it is clean

Answer 40 self-written mixed-domain questions in one sitting and score at least 85%

Explain to yourself, in writing, the difference between a clearance, an instruction, and information, with one example of each

Complete two full timed mock exams covering all four domains and score at least 85% on each

Re-drill only the domains where the mock exams show weakness, using the error log from week 7

Recite the complete distress, urgency, and communications-failure procedures from memory with no prompts

Review your phraseology reference card and confirm every entry is still accurate
