Goodies from the training department

Gents,

I sometimes like to drop some interesting questions or some challenging approaches here in the forum. This time I have a couple of questions regarding the sectional charts.

1: What does "RP 10R 28R" mean?


2: What does "122.1R" mean?


Your participation is highly appreciated.

Nice one Eric. RP stands for Right Pattern, which is Right Traffic.

Let's see what you get...I am still thinking and nothing coming out of this thick hair.

Thank your for participating.

Cheers,

Very good questions! By transmitting on 122.1and listening on the vor frequency a pilot can talk to Flight Service. Really helpful when you are out in the bonnies at low altitude. Most communications are line-of-sight.

Right on Jimar and Carllsn8.

You would announce on 122.1:
'CRG FSS, your callsign, transmitting on 122.1, Receiving on CRG VOR 114.5,.....'

But as in this example, you also have other two frequencies that do not have R after them. It simply means that it can transmit and receive on the same frequency. You would still have to announce your transmitting and receiving frequency.

Thank you all for participating and hope this helped others as well.

Happy Spring.
