Routing Instructions by ATC
As we all know there are occasions where an operators filed flight plan and anticipated routing is different to that held/expected by ATC.
Experience has taught ATC to confirm a flight's routing. This may take the form of "Bigjet 123 route Alpha, Echo, Oscar, Delta, Maintain FL340..; or "Littlejet 456 route UL423, T421, UL987, maintain FL370"
From a pilots perspective, are waypoints or the route name best/easiest (or are both equal) to confirm your planned route is the same as ATC expects?
Thanks in advance for your replies....
