"YEARS"

 

For years, we do things a little differently: 

We group the first two and the last two digits 

(numbers 0-9) together, like this:
- 1986 = nineteen eighty-six


- 1086 = ten eighty-six


- 2086 = twenty eighty-six


For years with fewer than four digits, we group just the last two digits:


- 873= eight seventy-three


However, for our current year, we express it this way:
- 2014 = two thousand and fourteen OR

                twenty fourteen.

 

You write                                   You say

1900                                  nineteen hundred

190                                nineteen hundred (and) one 

1995                                nineteen ninety-five

2000                          two thousand (twenty hundred)

2002                           two thousand (and) two

2010                        two thousand (and) ten (twenty ten)

 

 

 

 

"Fractions"

The numerator (the top number) is spoken as a cardinal number and the denominator (the bottom number) as an ordinal number.

 

 

However, half is used in place of second and sometimes quarter in place of fourth.

 

For fractions in which the numerator is larger than one, the denominator takes the plural -s suffix.

 

English fractions are also written with a hyphen between the numerator and denominator. For example:

 

  • 1/2 – one-half

  • 1/3 – one-third

  • 2/3 – two-thirds

  • 1/4 – one-fourth, one-quarter

  • 4/5 – four-fifths

  • 99/100 – ninety-nine one hundredths, ninety-nine hundredths

 

Fractions may also be spoken as cardinal number-over-cardinal number. For example:

 

  • 1/2 – one over two

  • 1/3 – one over three

  • 2/3 – two over three

  • 1/4 – one over four

  • 4/5 – four over five

  • 99/100 – ninety-nine over one hundred

FL 249           Flight level two four nine

 

Heading

100°        heading one zero zero

080°       heading zero eight zero

270°        heading two seven zero

125°         heading one two five

 

Wind direction/speed

200° 25kt       Wind two zero zero degrees two five knots

160° 18kt         Wind one six zero degrees one eight knots

130° 10kt         Wind one three zero degrees one zero knots

090° 05kt        Wind zero nine zero  degrees zero five knots

 

Runway

27        Runway two seven

30       Runway three zero

17         Runway one zero

19        Runway one nine

 

Altimeter

 

1010        One zero one zero

1000       On zero zero zero

999          Nine nine nine

 

Transponder codes                      Transmitted as

 

       2400                             Squawk two four zero zero

 

 

Transmission by pronouncing digit:

All numbers used in the transmission of altitude, cloud height, visibility and runway visual range (RVR) information, which contain whole hundreds and whole thousands, shall be transmitted by pronouncing each digit in the number of hundreds or thousands followed by the word HUNDRED or THOUSAND as appropriate.

 

Altitude

 

800 ft          eight hundred

3400 ft        three thousand four hundred

12000 ft      one two thousand

 

Cloud height

 

1000 ft          visibility one thousand

700 ft            visibility seven hundred

 

Runway visual range

 

600 m          RVR six hundred

1700 m         RVR one thousand seven hundred

 

 

Transmission of frequency

All six digits of the numerical designator should be used to identify the transmitting channel in VHF radiotelephony communications, except in the case of both the fifth and sixth digits being zeros, in which case only the first four digits should be used:

 

Chanel

 

118.000         ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ZERO

118.005         ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ZERO ZERO FIVE

118.010          ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ZERO ONE ZERO

118.025          ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ZERO TWO FIVE

118.050         ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ZERO FIVE ZERO

118.100          ONE ONE EIGHT DECIMAL ONE

 

 

Transmission of time

Only the minutes of the hour should normally be required to transmit time. Each digit should be pronounced separately. However, the hour should be included when any possibility of confusion is possible

 

Time

0920 (09:20am)    TWO ZERO ZERO NINE TWO ZERO

1643 (4:43pm)        FOUR THREE ONE SIX FOUR THREE
