"....traffic COPIED..."
"....COPIED the traffic..."
Why not complement this rubbish with "TEN FOUR RUBBER DUCK"?
ACKNOWLEDGED or ROGER should be used where appropriate.
And how about "Hotjet 123 REQUEST?"
"...sigh....Hotjet 123 pass your message."
"Hotjet 123 request flight level 320."
Why not just ask this in the first place instead of preparing the controller to write out your shopping list?
London you are by far the worst offenders for not reading the last digit of a frequency.....120.225 is exactly that, not "one two zero decimal two two." You seem to be slick with all other transmissions so why is this such a glaring one very day? Is it because the "5" doesn't appear on your screen? Don't spoil the good work!
