So why mention any waypoint to begin with, if it’s all coordinated anyway? Just curious about the logic of handovers and pilot reports as it does seem to vary a bit between FIR’s and control zones. In Amsterdam radar and Schiphol app it’s callsign only for example on check in (ignored by quite a few pilots, even when the ATIS specifically mentions ‘call sign only on first contact’ for the last 20 years, but I digress
