Exam strategy

Why it's tested & common exam traps.

RTR is as much about exact wording and discipline as it is about knowledge — DGCA's practical test penalises non-standard phraseology even when the pilot's meaning is clear.

Common traps: mixing up MAYDAY (distress, life-threatening) with PAN PAN (urgency, not immediately life-threatening), forgetting to read back safety-critical clearances in full, and slipping into conversational English instead of standard phraseology under pressure.
