Diversion radio call
Hi
Doing CPL training at the moment, so nearly every NAV has a diversion. So my instructor has drilled me in the diversion call. He sugested using the IFR diversion call, apparently listed in the AIP
So my diversion call is
Melbourne Centre, VH-XXX flight plan amendment.
XXX - go ahead
XXX, Cessna 182 Departed Diversion location eg Ballarat, time 46, tracking 172, 4500', estimating Colac 03, then as per flight plan. No change to SARTIME.
If SARTIME amendment, I say new SARTIME 291300 for arrival at YMEN.
This has worked very well for me, ATC seem to like this
Like you I listen to lots of flight plan amendments, some are awful, creates a lot more work for ATC in some cases
Cheers
JERR
