  1. Most likely that is the  shortened  number for your specific planes registration number,or "N" number .

    In the US all start with N, for your plane....it would be N56QW .

    It is your call sign so to speak., you say it as "November"  Five  Six  Quebec Whiskey"

    Take a look at the plane  you are flying and look at the big painted number on it I bet they are the same.


  2. Stop and think before you push the button and start talking.  Tell them:

    -Who you are (call sign = manufacturer and registration such as "Cessna 2891X")

    -Where you are (short final for 5Left, or at Hangar 3, or 15 miles south at 5000' agl, etc)

    -What you want (request permission to land, ready to taxi, or inbound for landing)

  3. Your instructor will make sure you know what you need to know before allowing you to talk on the radio.  If you are getting into a situation in which you need to use radio communications and you don't understand everything that is going on, then you need to have a serious discussion with your instructor.

    Either you need a different instructor, or your present instructor needs to understand your level of English fluency.  English is used in aviation communications throughout the world, and you need to gain some proficiency before you worry about flying the airplane.

    But a question like this should never come up.  Your instructor should prepare you before you have actual radio conversations with ATC facilities.
