"You should be using your departure QNH for the first 100NM"
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you did not mean to treat me like a F*ckwit!
It takes me 100 nm to catch up with the Bo! Then I get bored and start thinking about thinks like QNH to pass the time of day!
What about the next 100 nm, and the next 100 nm, and the next 100 nm, and the next 100 nm ........ nah, I need to stop for a pee about then!
To quote the site you referred me to:
"Significantly, the FAA publications distinguish between VFR and IFR aircraft operations with ATC providing IFR aircraft a QNH at least once while the aircraft is in the controller's area. Will we follow this practice in Australia?
Yes. The existing practice of ATS providing the QNH or area QNH to IFR aircraft will continue"
What crap! I rarely get given the QNH unless I ask for it.
I can't see that giving me the QNH when I change area frequencies can possibly clutter up anything!
On change of area frequency:
ME: Centre, XXX maintaining 10 thousand
Centre: XXX, Brisbane Centre
(and I suggest they should add "QNH 10whatever")
