How to get an RTR license, step by step.
- Check eligibility. Age 16 or over with a Class X pass or equivalent, as summarised from the 2025 rules.
- Prepare for Part 1. Work through the written chapters until the explanations feel obvious.
- Sit the written test through DGCA's official process.
- Rehearse Part 2, then take the practical. Run a few radio scenarios aloud first.
- Receive the licence once both parts are cleared.

A four-week rhythm you can adjust.
A suggested split of effort, not a promise. Stretch it or squeeze it to fit your exam date.
Week one
Vocabulary first
Learn the phonetic alphabet, number pronunciation and standard words. Start the first chapters and read every explanation.
Week two
Finish the written side
Complete the chapters. Redo only the questions you missed until they stop surprising you.
Week three
Start speaking
Begin the radio scenarios and say every call aloud. Silent reading hides the stumbles that speaking exposes.
Week four
Run it under the clock
Sit the final mock against the timer, then repeat the scenarios you found hardest.
RTR(A) is not the CPL syllabus.
The RTR(A) covers radio telephony only. The CPL ground syllabus is a much wider set of subjects such as air regulations, navigation and meteorology, and this site does not teach it. Clear the radio licence first and it is one less thing on your list.

Four habits that quietly cost marks
- Memorising answers. Option order can change. The rule behind the answer will not.
- Practising calls silently. Your tongue needs the repetitions, not just your eyes.
- Skipping read-backs. A call is not finished until the required items are repeated.
- Leaving Part 2 for the last week. Fluent speaking builds slowly.
Choose a 30-day pass.
A pass starts when you pay and runs for 30 days. Nothing renews automatically.

Questions students ask first.
Short answers, and a link to DGCA for anything that must be exact.
What is the RTR(A) licence?
RTR(A) is the Radio Telephone Operator (Restricted) licence for aeronautical use. It lets you operate an aircraft radio, and student pilots, cadets and commercial pilot candidates usually need it early in their training. People also call it the pilot RTR license.
Who runs the exam now?
Under the Radio Telephone Operator (Restricted) Certificate and Licence Rules, 2025, DGCA runs the examination and issues the licence. The Wireless Planning and Coordination wing used to handle this. Dates, centres and procedure can change, so follow DGCA's latest notice.
Am I eligible to apply?
Published summaries of the 2025 rules give a minimum age of 16 with a Class X pass or equivalent. Some groups, such as certain military pilots and holders of a valid earlier RTR certificate, can be exempt from the written part. Check your own case with DGCA before you apply.
What are Part 1 and Part 2?
Part 1 is the written test on radio theory: regulations, Q codes, weather messages, navigation aids and phraseology. Part 2 is the practical test, where you speak the radio calls for a whole flight in a simulated environment while an examiner acts as air traffic control.
What can I try before paying?
Five questions from a free chapter, with no account. After you sign up, every account can open one full chapter and one full scenario once. Pick a time when you can finish them, because each can be opened only once.
How does the radio scenario practice work?
You open a scenario, read the flight details, then write or speak each call as the flight moves from start-up to landing. After each step you compare your call with the model answer and your run is scored. Three screen layouts let you choose between a simple drill view and a full exam-style console.
Does this replace the manual of radiotelephony?
No. It is practice built around the RTR(A) topics and standard ICAO radiotelephony wording. Read the official manual alongside it, and use the explanations after each answer to find the rule you need to look up.
How do the passes work, and does it run on a phone?
A pass starts when your payment clears and lasts 30 days, with no automatic renewal. Payment is online through Razorpay. Every screen, including the exam screens, is laid out for phones and tablets in portrait and landscape.
