if the many pilots of PPRuNe had an opinion?
Thanks Dave for highlighting this...
I mainly fly from strip to strip thus sometimes remaining on the safetycom frequency for the whole flight. Learning from our US cousins I'm rigorous at topping and tailing my calls with the fields designated name and adding my type and colour to my abbreviated callsign. So having made my initial call a subsequent transmission might be " Saltby traffic blue Shark Charlie Delta left base 07 Saltby"
My logic is most pilots are not plane spotters so an encyclopedic knowledge of local callsigns can't be relied upon but hearing "blah blah Blue thing on final" might get through..
