Cough
If we say squawk ident and you have the wrong code selected we get the wrong information displayed on the "scope".From the ATC point of view it is better to say squawk xxxx ident in case you pilot guys and gals have set the wrong code ( unlikely I know
)
On a slightly differnt tack , today I was working the 123.77 Sector
BEL _ IOM FL250- and three out of four Easyjets checked in by saying EZYxxx squawking xxxx ident climbing 90. As mentioned on an other thread please do not press the ident until we say so thank you
I was going to say something over the r/t but the lady flying on the third sounded so sweet so I bottled out
.However I have now had a bottle of wine and I am ready to take on the world ( not!)
