Information required when requesting clearance?
I am a line training captain on the Saab 340 at Loganair and ask this with respect to maintaining/improving R/T standards: Recently the BAA airports in Scotland have been able to issue ATC clearances before start, however there is no guidance in CAP 413 as to the content of the call (or I couldn't find it). I asked over the radio and was told at Glasgow you only need stand number (and callsign obviously), which makes sense as you will get info, QNH etc. when we call for start, however BHX said info, QNH, stand etc, which duplicates all the info we give on calling for start. What is the considered opinion from the floor?
