ya, they dont really say that much when flying. Usually the pilot repeats what the ATC told them to do instead. Although i have heard "Roger"'s and "Wilco"s while flying...but they aren't used very often.

I've not heard over and out when flying, but Roger and Wilco are still used. Since so many aircraft have to use the same radio frequencies and traffic control personel the key to using the radio is to be as brief as possible while still conveying what you are doing. "Roger" is just a very short way to say "I heard and understood what you said", "Wilco" is "I Will Comply with what you have said".

They don't really. That is something you hear in the movies or TV. Actually, it is a insult. Over -- means go ahead and talk to me. Out -- means that you are hanging up and won't be listening. So over and out really means go ahead and talk but I won't listen to you. Roger -- means you understand what the other person has said. And for the bonus, Wilco -- means you will comply with the instructions just given to you.

I dont know about over and out, but Roger is used for "message recieved and understood"
