Firstly, now that Jonathan has blown my cover, I have decided to migrate from WCollins to Timothy. I don't know why I ever didn't really!

And now that is blown, I can ask another question on a similar subject. My reg is G-LIZZ. Why, can anyone tell me, do so, so many controllers read this back as G-ILZZ? It is always the same error...I hear it all the time and no other...why should that be? If I am airborne and someone denies that I have an IFR plan filed, I now ask "do you have a G-ILZZ?" because I just know that that will be the transcription error.

It happens all the time....why

Oh and I crossed with MD's post...I always say Good morning or afternoon on first contact unless the frequency is frantic. I just think that it's courteous and I probably couldn't stop myself after the first 33 years!
