We were told that on first contact with DXB App we had to state our Altitude passing, STAR, information received, aircraft type and souls on board. Although the other night, UAE approach was telling all aircraft to say ONLY airspeed and altituude passing. Airspeed because of control going into DXB. I agree with the fact that this is RADAR control, so do you require all that stuff, or can we clear up some mike time???????
