The following tutorial will provide examples of R/T signals in written and phonetic form. You will

need some blank paper, a writing utensil, and both of your Unit 2 Student Guides,

Unclassified and Confidential. You will NOT need your ATP’s for this tutorial. Please note

that once you have completed this section of the tutorial, your sheet(s) of paper now become(s) Confidential. Ensure you properly label your notes as Confidential on the top and bottom,

front and back of each sheet of paper.

This tutorial will provide examples of the following R/T formats. Press the respective button corresponding to the area you desire to review.

These R/T formats are covered in lessons 2-2 Unclassified and 2-6 Confidential on the specific pages noted above.

The upcoming slides will give you a tactical signal to be transmitted in a certain R/T format.

Breaking the signal from the ATP is not part of this tutorial. Follow the instructions at the

beginning of each slide. Only the answer will be displayed during this tutorial, not how to get the

answer. Your student guides will provide guidance. This program will point out where to go in your student guides. Please ensure you have the proper supplies prior to continuing with the

tutorial.

The following slides will cover STANDARD COMMANDS for both helm and leeehlem. It will

cover what the correct and incorrect answers and the

reasons why they are correct or incorrect.

Come Right StandardSteady Course 120

Come Right Steer Course 120

This answer is NOT correct because when you give a rudder amount like “standard,” you must

STEADY on that course.

Press here and try again

This answer is NOT correct because when you use the

command “come left/right” you STEER that course. Also, this command can only be used for

course changes of 10 degrees or less.

This answer is correct because when you use the command

“come left/right” you STEER that course.

Good. Press hereto continue with

the next question

What standard command would you give to the lee helm to change speed from 20 knots to 10 knots? Please note that 10 knots is a 2/3’s bell. Choose from the following answers by clicking on the arrow corresponding to your answer.

on that course.

Good. Press here to continue with the next question

In this scenario, you initially give the order to change course from 270T to a course of 000T and give the order:

“right standard rudder, steady course 000.” During the turn as you are passing course 300T, you are told that

you need to come back to course 270T. What order can you give to get back to course 270T?

This answer is INCORRECT because by placing your

rudder amidships, you will not be able to steady up on

course 270.


This answer is INCORRECT because there is no such

command “ease your rudder to right five degrees


This answer is INCORRECT. When you use the command “shift your rudder,” you must

give a new course to STEADY.


This answer is CORRECT because you give a new

course to steady when you shift your rudder.
