Never fear Gonzo MM is here
Who says we do things in the UK better and safer than anywhere else?
Was the point I was making.
The whole L or R is a red herring, but I was more than happy to stoke the fire, so many "experts" on here rose to the bait, from uncle tom in his ratty C152, to seasoned ATCO's so in fact, I'd say I have actively encouraged debate, and helped some form opinions.
However, because my opinion and experience suggests to me that in UK airspace we rely far too much on phraseology, and neglect many many other area's that comprise the sum total of the concept commonly referred to as airmanship...does not make me a cowboy, or one who likes to live outside the rules.
So Gonzo, debate away.
The reason I have refrained from posting until now has been due to a few rather nasty personal messages recieved.
