70% to pass

When communicating on the radiotelephone using plain English, what procedure word indicates the end of my transmission and that a response is necessary?

A Wilco
B Roger
C Out
D Over
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Over. The procedure word "over" indicates the end of a transmission and that a response is necessary. It is the standard way to end a transmission when communicating using radiotelephone with plain English, as opposed to using brevity codes. The other options are incorrect: "Wilco" means "will comply", "Roger" means "I have received your transmission", and "Out" means the transmission has ended and no response is expected.
