I think I'm beginning to understand but...
ATM is ....?
At EMA, almost everybody is on a Daventry departure (bucket and spade!), nobody 10 minutes ahead or 10 minutes behind, the request is still made before handover to London. Is the controller just standardising the call so its never forgotten or is there a technical reason?
Apologies if I've missed the latest AIC but I thought only the cleared altitude was required not the passing?
Be gentle now... pilots are stupid...I've seen Pushing Tin!
