You are on the approach to land at Slapdon aerodrome, which uses a 'Radio' call sign. You call 'Final' but see that the runway is now obstructed with a departing aircraft. How should Slapdon Radio respond to you?
A "Radio" serive is a very basic service which can only give information to pilots to enable them to operate safely. No advice or instruction can be passed. The radio station will have a suffix of Radio, for example “Slapdon Radio”.
Looking at the answer options:
G-LL, request you orbit, runway currently obstructed with departing traffic --> INCORRECT. A radio service will NOT make a request in order to separate traffic.
G-LL, roger, wind 230 at 5 knots --> INCORRECT. The radio service will pass you information on the situation, especially for safety related reasons.
G-LL, continue approach, runway obstructed --> INCORRECT. A radio service can NOT give an instruction, such as 'continue approach'.
G-LL, roger, runway obstructed with departing traffic, wind 230 at 5 knots --> CORRECT.
