Couple of mil ATC questions
Hi guys
We fly into RAF bases quite frequently, and would like to think we (hopefully!) do a reasonable job of it! Just a couple of questions that I have noticed no one really knows the answer to. I would appreciate any feedback.
1. On a PAR once we get visual do you like to be told so? Some guys do, and the talkdown continues all the way to the deck regardless. Some times when we say we are visual the talkdown stops.
2. When we are receiving our clearances, some controllers say "frequency once airborne "123.45". Should we treat this as we would in civvy fields and go straight to that frequency, or wait until we are told. There is nothing in the jeps or aerads which clarifies this.
Thanks in advance.
