Pilots - your thoughts please!!!
We have recently added a new message to our ATIS in situations of low pressure - this reminds pilots of the fact it is low pressure and to watch the cleared flight level on departure.
Surely this is insulting to you guys? as soon as you hear the QNH you will be aware of the pressure and react accordingly, does it really need ATC and a 51 second ATIS to tell you your job??
I can see the theory is to reduce the number of level busts but surely this advice is best left to training captains if they perceive a problem with their crews,
What do you think??
