1Choose the word closest in meaning to "ABSTAIN".

A.Expand

B.Accelerate

C.Refrain

Explanation: "Abstain" means to deliberately hold back or refrain from doing something, especially voting or consuming. "Refrain" is the nearest synonym among the options.

2Choose the word opposite in meaning to "Benevolent".

A.Generous

B.Malevolent

C.Charitable

D.Kind

Explanation: Benevolent means well-meaning and kindly. Its antonym is malevolent, meaning having or showing ill will.

3Identify the segment with the error: "Each of the controllers / have submitted / their daily report / before the shift ended."

A.Each of the controllers

B.their daily report

C.before the shift ended

D.have submitted

Explanation: With "Each of the controllers", the verb must be singular: "has submitted". "Each" is the grammatical subject and takes a singular verb.

4Fill in the blank: "The radar display was so clear that even minor ______ could be tracked instantly."

A.negotiations

B.deviations

C.celebrations

D.decorations

Explanation: In ATC context, radar tracks aircraft movement; minor deviations from assigned routes or altitudes are operationally significant and can be tracked.

5One word for "A person who is new to a profession or activity".

A.Novice

B.Specialist

C.Veteran

D.Expert

Explanation: A novice is a beginner or person inexperienced in a field. Veteran and expert denote experience; specialist denotes focused expertise.

6Read: "Pilots must read back all runway-holding instructions unless the controller explicitly states otherwise." What must pilots do when given a runway-holding instruction?

A.Ignore it if traffic is light

B.Request a repeat only at night

C.Read it back to the controller

D.Write it in the log only

Explanation: Standard phraseology requires pilots to read back runway-holding instructions to confirm understanding unless the controller says "readback not required".

7What does the idiom "under the weather" mean?

A.Feeling unwell

B.Flying below clouds

C.Monitoring radar

D.Working outdoors

Explanation: "Under the weather" is an idiomatic expression meaning feeling slightly ill or unwell, not literally related to aviation weather.

8Change to passive voice: "The tower controller cleared the aircraft for take-off."

A.The take-off cleared the aircraft by the tower controller.

B.The aircraft had cleared the tower controller for take-off.

C.The tower controller was cleared for take-off by the aircraft.

D.The aircraft was cleared for take-off by the tower controller.

Explanation: In passive voice, the object (aircraft) becomes the subject and the agent (tower controller) follows "by". Past simple active "cleared" becomes "was cleared".

9Choose the correct preposition: "The flight is scheduled to arrive ___ 14:30 UTC."

A.for

B.on

C.by

D.at

Explanation: Specific clock times use "at" (arrive at 14:30). "On" is for days/dates; "by" implies deadline; "for" does not fit arrival time.

10Which word is spelled correctly?

A.Occurence

B.Occurrence

C.Occurrance

D.Ocurrence

Explanation: The correct spelling is "occurrence" — double c, double r. Common misspellings drop one r or one c.

AAI JE ATC Study Tips from Top Performers

1Split weekly time roughly 50/50 between Part A aptitude and Part B Physics/Maths — each half carries 60 official marks.

2Because there is no negative marking, practice attempting every question within the 2-hour limit (about 1 minute per question).

3Revise NCERT Class 11–12 Physics and core undergraduate Maths (calculus, matrices, probability) for Part B.

4For English and Reasoning, use SSC CGL-level timed drills — error spotting, cloze, and coding-decoding appear frequently.

5Build aviation awareness: ICAO, DGCA, AAI roles, basic navigation/surveillance terms — useful for GK and interview stages.

6After CBT mocks, prepare for the voice test — clear pronunciation and standard phraseology matter for ATC selection.
