phraseology
hello,
In the UK the phrase: " ...own navigation to..." is often used in stead of "direct to..."
About 20 years ago in Italy I interpreted this phrase as a direct to...and got reprimanded shortly after setting course. The controller told me that "own navigation " means follow the flightplan route. What is your opinion? Has the phraseology changed? Or do ATC rules differ somewhat depending the country. Thanks for clarifying.
