Show answer

Answer

  • C on the frequency used or on an emergency frequency

Explanation

The distress call is first transmitted on the frequency in use, because someone there is already listening and knows the aircraft. If that is not possible, an emergency frequency such as 121.500 MHz is used. "Always 121.500" is therefore wrong.
