Squawk Ident Readback
Please, forgive me now for this rather embarrassing question. But for the sake of peace in my own mind, is "squawk ident" a read back item in the UK/EU commercial aviation world?
I usually read it back - I've seen some people do, some people don't. Sometimes if I leave it out ATC don't mind, other times i've been pulled up on it and asked to confirm. Any opinion from a radar controller?
