RIS - clock code vs compass points
Today Brize were giving me a RIS and calling traffic by compass points (e.g. Traffic NE, southbound, same level) rather than clock code. I was under the impression that they would only do this if you were manoeuvring, and that cruising (as I was) on a steady heading they would give clock code.
Could this be because the wind was strong, and therefore my wind correction angle would make their estimates of clock code wrong? (They didn't know my actual heading - I forgot to say and they didn't ask.) Wind correction was around 30 deg cruising at 90 knots in an underpowered DR400...
