question on identification
Dear all
I am writing here to ask you a question about identification.
I am not a controller (nor a pilot). I am just a student with a real curiosity (and some passion) for ATC.
I would like to know if it is pertinent to use the term "identification" of an aircraft in tower environment.
I have been told that, at least for the tower, this term is not adequate, as there are no standardized procedures for identification (as for example the squawk ident).
Do you agree with this?
If so, what is the correct definition?
Something like “knowing who is who”, or something else?
Thank you in advance
(and forgive my ignorance!!)
Cheers
Elisa
