The correct method of stating 4,500 feet MSL to ATC is
A
'FOUR THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED.'✓ Correct Answer
B
'FOUR POINT FIVE.'
C
'FORTY-FIVE HUNDRED FEET MSL.'

AIM 4-2-8 gives 4,500 as 'four thousand five hundred': altitudes below 10,000 feet are spoken as thousands plus hundreds. 'Four point five' is not standard, and 'forty-five hundred' is not the prescribed form.
