4X-1,
What On Eyre is trying to say is that it would help with everyone's Situational Awareness if IFRs (or anyone for that matter) didn't just call on frequency ... " Melbourne Centre, FKA is on descent, passing through eight thousand"
It would be great to know that he was ... " ... passing through eight thhousand on descent to Mangalore " ... especially if you happen to be overflying Mangalore at 5000ft.
