My pet hate is with a particularly well known northern airfield, and I apologise if this is a specific local procedure of which I am not aware.

It goes as follows,

XXXXXXXXXX Delivery, XXX123, Boeing XXX, Stand XXX with Information A, QNH1013, Request clearance to XXY.

XXX123 Cleared to XYZ, NOKIN1Y, Squawk 1234, Information is Alpha, QNH1013.

Cleared to XYZ, NOKIN1Y, Squawk 1234, Information Alpha, QNH1013

My point being, most ATCO's seem to read back to you the ATIS code and QNH in the clearance, which, according to my book means I am obliged to read back the QNH and as good airmanship if nothing else, readback the ATIS code.

Incidentally, this is not limited to delivery and happens frequently on initial call with Radar too when passing ATIS code.

Not entirely R/T related but don't get me started on speed restrictions not being lifted, "300kts untill advised". When will that be then, arrival on stand?

Sorry... Rant Over...
