Hello folks,
I work the LGW deps.
What I want to hear from you is callsign, sid, passing altitude and initial cleared altitude...because that's what my rules tell me I have to know!
From the MATS part 2:
"On first contact with the departure controller, pilots following instrument departures are required to
report their callsign, SID designator (if applicable), current level and initial cleared level.
Where a pilot omits to pass any of the above on first contact, they are to be requested by the departure
controller to provide the missing information before executive instructions are issued to the aircraft."
So on a Lam/Cln/Dvr off westerlies, I want to know that you are initially climbing to 4000, as this ensures you should be separated from the LHR traffic.
However, as correctly pointed out by others, you are cleared to 6000, with the appropriate stop offs on the way.
Clear as Mud?
Great.
Warped Factor, of course we won't be mandated to check the SFL though will we.
Cheers,
N
