No real complaints about the ATCOs standard. Yet to see R/T floggings or vectors from (to) hell.
One gent however has a habit of responding to pilots' readbacks of his instructions with a clipped "Correct..." or sometimes just a double click. Is there a requirement to acknowledge readbacks on UAE Control or departures? Why don’t other controllers do this?
Might be an old chestnut but why does Muscat invariably have no runway info for all the aircraft transiting through to Dubai?
One other question, when the Altn GND freq is used at Dubai, why isn’t this mentioned on the ATIS so a call and air-time isn’t wasted on 118.35?
