Module 3 - Phonetic Alphabet & Prowords

Readback And Correction

If a station gives a channel, position, time, or instruction, read back the critical part when appropriate. This catches errors before they become navigation or rescue problems.

If you make an error, do not talk around it. Say Correction, then give the corrected word, number, or phrase clearly.

Key points

  • Read back critical digits and channel changes.
  • Ask Say Again when any part is uncertain.
  • Use Correction promptly after a spoken error.
  • Keep spellings slow enough for the receiving station to write down.
