What you must read back

A readback lets the controller check what you understood. You learn what the European rules say you must read back in full, how ATC catches a wrong readback, and how to use say again and correction.

• List the four groups you always read back in full
• Read back codes and frequencies word for word, callsign last
• Ask for just the part you missed with say again
