What a sad state of affairs that we still rely on VHF audio transmission of barometric pressure to determine altitude.
Why do we have to input it? Why do we have to cross check it? Is that really the best we can do?
The comments on language astound me.
Repeated assertions that language isn’t code fly in the face of the facts here.
This was a standard transmission of standard information in a standard format.
It absolutely is code and as somebody above said it doesn’t matter the language it could be in Klingon.
It would be more accessible and we would be less likely to get it wrong if we used the same language all day, every day.
