Thanks PITA great to see that the intellectuals have joined the debate. Must have taken hours to come up with that witty post. Thank goodness with perfectionists like you at the pointy end of the a/c I dont have to worry about wrong calls, chasing up flight levels or position reports or anything........
Thanks to all who made constructive posts.
It's not the unique to UAE stuff like ORSAR check in that is the problem. Its the standard stuff that you have to do wether you are in UAE, USA, UK Europe or anywhere. Like reporting level on first contact with a new freq. Actually reading back a clearance instead of "roger" and then spearing off in the other direction. Copying a freq change instead of just switching so ATC dont have to spend mins finding out where you are or if we have to start radio failure procedures. Even just listening out on the control frequency and responding when called instead of talking to the ground freq to find out what bay you are in. Remember that the control freq is the one you are being seperated on.
thanks
