Aviation experts have raised questions on alleged incompetence of examiners responsible for granting licenses to budding pilots for their communication skills while operating flights. Pilots are trained to efficiently communicate with air traffic controllers (ATCs) for all kinds of situations. Post-training, they have to pass a test to obtain a Radio Telephony Restricted License or RTR(A). RTR(A) is a communication system operated in between air crew members and pilots to air traffic control and ground station. This system is crucial for airline operators. The test is conducted by the Wireless Planning & Coordination (WPC) wing of the Ministry of Communication.
