Sample General Phraseology questions, answered and explained
Real questions from this chapter, with the answer marked and the reasoning written out — the same explanations you get inside the app.
0609001 · General Phraseology
If unable to expedite a climb, the correct pilot reply is:
- AUNABLE TO EXPEDITE DUE WEIGHT
- BCAN NOT EXPEDITE DUE SPEED RESTRICTION
- CWILL NOT COMPLY DUE OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
Why that is the answer
The pilot says **"UNABLE"** and gives the reason — for example **"UNABLE TO EXPEDITE DUE WEIGHT"**.
This tells ATC at once that the instruction cannot be followed, so the controller can plan something else.
0609011 · General Phraseology
A pilot replying "NEGATIVE CONTACT" to traffic information means:
- AHave the traffic in sight
- BAre not looking for the traffic
- CDo not see the reported traffic
Why that is the answer
**NEGATIVE CONTACT** means the pilot **cannot see the reported traffic**.
The pilot keeps looking and tells ATC when it is seen ("TRAFFIC IN SIGHT").
0609036 · General Phraseology
The phrase "EXPEDITE DESCENT" requires the pilot to:
- ADescend as quickly as safely possible
- BDescend as soon as possible to avoid opposite-direction traffic
- CDescend at maximum rate to avoid an imminent collision
Why that is the answer
**EXPEDITE** means **descend as quickly as is safely possible** — faster than a normal descent.

What is the best way to revise General Phraseology?
Sit a short timed set on this chapter alone, tag how sure you were of each answer, then drill the two that actually leak marks: the ones you got right while guessing, and the ones you got wrong while confident. Avielevate does that tagging for you and puts anything you got wrong back in front of you on a spaced schedule.
