"manual" in call common?
Last weekend I noticed calls "ILS established manual" on the radio at controlled airports in continental Europe.
Does this signal "hand-flown, no autopilot", why? From call signs I guess it were training flights of a big ATO.
Is that call now common practice?

Unless this has been introduced since I retired in January there is no requirement whatsoever to tell ATC if you are flying a manual ILS or not.
The only requirement is to stipulate that if you intend to practise an autoland (Cat3) ILS in good weather then you will not need the LVP protection hence the call 'No protection required'.

Love it goldox.... When I first worked with the USAF I had to transfer traffic to GCA with the phrase "Contact GCA on Stud 5 or manual on 385.4" My mentor told me it was a Spanish GCA controller...
