Worryingly I've not read a single post that directs flyvirgin to CAP 413. While I agree with a lot of what has been said, as someone who both flys and controls, there is nothing better than knowing the standard phraseology. It keeps your transmissions short so you won't end up telling your life story and it saves the controller asking you for some information that you've missed. At the same time, after "aviate, navigate and communicate" the most important thing to remember, is if you don't know or there isn't a "standard" phrase, then just speak english! Safe flying!!
