124,9 New request radio show
Did I miss the Notam on 124,9 being changed into a request radio show?
Ever since Dubai has gone single runway ops we have had more requests for non-standard thing than before:
* "can we maintain high speed?"
* "can we slow down?"
* "can we fly minimum clean speed?"
* "any possibility of landing on 30 if 12 is in use and landing 12 if 30 is in use?"
* "can we have a shortend approach?"
* if asked to reduce to a certain speed - "can't we rather maintain ... knots?"
* "request routing direct ......."
* "request futher climb"
* "request futher descent"
* "what is the type of aircraft ahead of us?"
* "what is our number in sequence?"
* request this
* request that
HERE ARE SOME OF MY REQUESTS
* Use your full callsign
* comply with speed restrictions (we have radar and can see when you lie to us)
* Please give your exact altitude passing on first contact
* I do not want to know how many passangers you have on board
* Listen out on frequency
* Do not respond to another aircraft's callsign
* Please give complete readbacks
* Comply with the climb gradient as published and advise us if you can not comply
Thank you
