"Radar good day,this is P4-MMG climbing etc..."

At one of my 2 yearly flights with an instructor I was told off for saying any more than "G xxxx" when switching to radar. After all, they know where I'm going and have agreed my clearance. Usually, all they say in reply is "Report leaving the zone" unless there is conflicting traffic.

I know you professional IFR types usually say more because I hear you but, if my instructor was right, your longer response is confusing for us VFR only types. Presumably the difference is that VFR flights are usually cleared "not above" and IFR traffic is cleared to an altitude/FL?

I was also taught never to repeat wind checks on final. Just say "Cleared to land, G xxxx"
