Question #119:

What would you do if the controller repeated the messageseveral times but you failed to understand him? Paraphrase: Imagine the controller repeats the message many times. But you don’t understand him at all. What can you do?

Answer:

You know it is a common problem during international flights. In case I have a problem with understanding the ATC, I would request to tell the information step by step, or even to spell. And I can even ask my colleague to help me to understand the message.
