Coming in from the EAST, eg on FL350 0r FL 310 we won't receive the KLIA ATIS until approx. 100nm to Top of Descent. Most airlines endeavour to complete their approach briefing by then (100nm to TOD) especially if they do not fly regularly to foreign airfield.
More so on training flight, they want to get all the info asap....
Solution: Have a radio repeater station somewhere near PK... 132.6 will be clearer too.....
