Use of the "Next" position is non standard.

A CASA / FAA / CAA approved position report would be

"Fastair 123, SEKSY 47, FL320, NIPIL 59"

But of course you now run into the realm of what is correct, and what actually works.

We are always told to keep our R/T short and concise to avoid cluttering up the airwaves, but if you make the position report as described above, and then get asked your next position, you end up taking up more R/T time than you would if you were non standard in the first place.

My advice would be to use the officially correct R/T in your sim checks, and use what really works when you are on line.

By the way, SEKSY and NIPIL were real reporting points in the Manila F.I.R. until recently.
