i) ____ _______ equipment capable of two-way communication with the appropriate ATC unit, and
(ii) a _________ ____ _________ _______ _______ _________ ______; and
(b) a _________ ________ ______ is maintained by a flight crew member on a radio frequency assigned by ATC.

Answer 1

In VFR flight in Class C airspace, a person operating an aircraft must have communication equipment and a transponder, and maintain a listening watch on an assigned radio frequency.

Step-by-step explanation:

In VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight in Class C airspace, a person operating an aircraft must ensure two things:

1. Having radio communication equipment: The aircraft must have equipment capable of two-way communication with the appropriate ATC (Air Traffic Control) unit. This allows pilots to communicate with air traffic controllers to receive instruction and information about other aircraft in the airspace.
2. Having a secondary surveillance radar transponder: The aircraft must have a transponder that can send back information to the ATC radar system. This helps air traffic controllers identify and track the aircraft on the radar display.

Additionally, a flight crew member should maintain a listening watch on a radio frequency assigned by ATC to stay aware of any important communications.
