Thanks guys for your input. Its all Carribean work out of Canada so its mainly just off shore. Intruder the way you menioned was the way I was taught. I was with a skipper who argued until he turned blue that you only mentioned the mandatory waypoints in any position report. In a previous life in the arctic we always did it the way you mentioned. He had me thinking things had changed.
PT thanks you are a great help, not too many questions on RT when I did my ATPL, but that was 10 years ago, perhaps it has changed. And maybe just maybe the TC exams are slightly different than the CAA exams.
Cheers
