Triadick, is that a deliberate attempt to sound like a condescending fruit with the "
oh dear, oh dear" line???
If it's "been done before" why do you feel the need to add your two cents worth......
Usually you will find behind every senseless air-time consuming read-back requirement is an event in the recent red-tape-riddled past where some halfwit taxied across an active runway or climbed through an altitude or whatever.
Everyone else now has to readback everything and talk for ages to cover the moron-factor.
I like hearing :
"ABC report ready for descent."
"Report ready for descent, ABC."
Like it's some kind of clearance.
or
"Kwannuss 1, position."
"Kwannuss 1, go ahead."
"Over the top of blah at time 01, maintaining 9000 feet, estimating overhead Wup-Wup at time 69, Kwannuss 1"
As if the position report is a READ-BACK and they need the callsign at the end!!! Do these tools understand how to structure a position report???
or when asked to report altitude:
Reply:
"Maintaining 9000 feet, Vergin' 181." Callsign at the end!!! Do these simpletons understand what the requirement is?????
By the way... who are the deadsh!ts who instigated the callsign at the end of the statement rule? I think we all know which Rat was responsible for that.
PS
RAAF ATCs are far more pedantic with their readbacks
This is because THEIR traffic is usually off to drop bombs on someone. They don\'t want them to take out a wedding party, cluster of canucks or truckload of pommy grunts by accident.
