Just wondering how many people know the phraseology has been dabbled to " <callsign> Avoiding Action <callsign> turn...etc" and how they found out. Being that LACC has only electronic briefing and CD-ROM Part 2 updates, how were we to find out?????

It was in the last MATS part 1 amendment back in December (which are now downloadable from the web), which caused a bit of debate on here.
So - known about it since then.

What's MATS Pt 1?????
Who cares anyway, as long as the R/T is of a standard nature and is clear, unambiguous,understood and put over in an urgent manner. That is what is important!:)

5miles.. You say LACC only has electronic briefing... well don't you use it? LTCC also has electronic briefing and a great many of us check it out each day. In fact many TC controllers regularly brief themselves as soon as they arrive before entering the ops room. Being a desperately old git I have great trouble learning the book but being computer-minded the electronic bit seems to make it more fun and easier to digest.... and it constantly nags you until you read it.
