A Precision Runway Monitor (PRM) approach may require

A

simultaneously monitoring two frequencies.✓ Correct Answer

B

special training to monitor two ILS receivers simultaneously.

C

tracking performance parameters at the decision point.

Explanation

Under AIM 5-4-16, an aircraft flying a PRM approach must let the pilot listen to two communication frequencies at once: the tower frequency and the PRM monitor frequency, on which the monitor controller can break in if the other aircraft blunders. Pilots do need PRM training, but it concerns the breakout procedures, not watching two ILS receivers, and there is no requirement to track parameters at the decision point.
