Just a quick point for ABZ controllers and a thought that may cut down on R/T chat.
If someone calls on 121.7 for start and states the ATIS Code and QNH that he/she has obtained, then is there much point telling the pilot the runway in use and QNH when he/she calls for taxy?
Nowadays, Aberdeen seems to be one of the few airfields in the UK where this still happens. Providing the crew provide the correct ATIS and QNH details on start up then the ATCO just tells you the holding point to taxy to when taxy is requested. Saves a few seconds on the R/T!
