"Finals" ****s me!
Unless you fly upwinds, crosswinds and bases, or you fly like a spastic it's FINAL
And when did the 'third person' radio call become the norm?
'VH-ABC Taxi's/Backtracks/Lines up/Rolls...etc'
Couldn't agree more, makes me cringe every single time.
And also adding intentions to your downwind, base & final calls??? Why people?
