Hi all, but especially Manch CTRL,
Have often been told "Route dct MALUD, when steady inbound MALUD, make that a radar heading & report it" No problem - easiest way for ATCO to avoid guessing at drift angle and still maintain the lower separation from radar vectoring.
But inevitably, when routing WAL-L10-BEL, we get "Fly hdg 330", and then a few corrections for the wind, all aiming us more or less direct for IOM (and no complaints - you guys & girls are very good at getting right
).
My question is - why are we not subjected to the procedure described in the 1st paragraph on this particular segment? I've not had it happen anywhere else, and it hapens 9,85 out of 10 times
OK - in all fairness - Manch S also use it when changing us from a WHI3E (out of BHX) to dct WAL. Bet there is some sneaky explaination to it
Brgds - and thanks for a usually superb job!
