Civvy to military handovers.
Can anybody tell me if there is a set procedure for civilian to military handovers?
We do them quite regularly at our unit but everyone is very different. Sometimes they take 3times as long as a mil to mil handover. Some civ controllers say just freecall it but if the pilot is under a rad service i feel that is a poor show on the controlling fraternity as we should be doing our best for them. I will always freecall FIS.
On more than one occasion I have tried handovers with coordination on RAS traffic and their response is never the professional one it should be. I've even been hung up on before!
to quote 'you'll never catch me with that one'!!! or 'but the traffic your giving me is RIS?'!!! Rules is rules, why dont the civvys respect ours?
Do they teach slackness at Hurn or does it creep in over the years.
