Your original comment was
in my most recent column I opined that situational awareness in the circuit would be enhanced if pilots used “Warrior Charlie Delta or “Skylane Charlie Delta” rather than “Golf Charlie Delta.
My point is that most GA pilots hearing "
Warrior Charlie Delta" or “Skylane Charlie Delta” would go "What the f*** is he on about" - what we want is clarity rather than confusion
I think its more that if I heard Microlight CD and could only see a helicopter I would keep looking whereas if I heard G-CD and saw a flying machine I would assume that was G-CD. That’s the point some people refuse to accept. There’s some interesting points being raised which I like but I will always contend that Golf adds nothing when every other aircraft on freq is also calling Golf! All IMHO of course
What if there are two Microlights in the circuit? You still don't know you are looking at the right one.
