Should I complain about AFIS
I wish to raise a complaint abut the conduct of a radio operator at XXXX airfield. ( it's an 'information' )
I was the private pilot of G-XXXX and requested airfield information.
Apparently (and I'm quite willing to accept as true) I made a slight error in the read back of the information.
Instead of correcting me, the operator began what i perceived to be an extremely aggressive interrogation of me over the error. I was asked time and time again where I got the information from, and I was told I was 'hearing things' and the correct information was not re-past to me until I requested it again.
I am a low hours (TT 50 ish) pilot, and I had to make a conscious effort to put it out of my mind, so as not to distract me.
I have never experienced anything like it before.
So two questions, do the CAA regulate this service ?
And should I bother to complain to the airfield and or the CAA?
