Why would a remote pilot monitor the CTAF near an operating area?
- A.To hear manned aircraft announcing their positions and anticipate traffic near the airport
- B.To request an airspace authorization from other pilots
- C.To receive the airport's fuel prices and services
Correct answer
A. To hear manned aircraft announcing their positions and anticipate traffic near the airport
Why
Listening to CTAF traffic calls gives the remote pilot situational awareness of manned aircraft arriving and departing nearby. Other pilots on the frequency cannot grant authorizations, and services are not broadcast there.
