Tommy, in the UK when we issue a turn instruction with a heading ending in 0 we say "degrees" afterwards to avoid any confusion.
I can't see what confusion can possibly exist with the instruction:
"descend to altitude two tausand feet, QNH one tausand"
Clear, conscise and unambiguous.
What gets my goat at the moment is the number of crews flying into EGBB when cleared to: "descend to altitude two tausand fife hundred feet"
read back "Roger descend two fife zero zero feet"
For all of you doing this DON'T it sounds just like
"Roger descend TO FIFE ZERO ZERO FEET"
And I don't want you at 500ft you're not MAHAN Air!!
