Ok then, follow up question.
Scottish controllers always say 'Blah Airways, Climb alt 6000, Sqwalk 5432 ident'.
Request...
Could you say 'Blah Airways, Climb alt 6000', Sqwalk ident'.
Its much easier for us, coz SSR codes (as I understand it) have to be read back, and the fact that you tell me a code panics me every time that I didn't set it right in the first place. Whilst we are doing this whilst the flaps are coming up/checklists out - Its a critical flight phase so the workload being kept to a min is a good thing.
Cheers!
