There are 3 very different ways of doign R/T:
[list=1][*]The Trevor Thom way[*]The CAP413 way[*]The way everyone does it in practice[/list=1]
The first one is no use at all - the only Thom book I wouldn't recommend using. The second one is the way you must learn it for the exam. The third way is the way you should learn it for everything apart from the exam.
Ok, so they're not completely different - but how many times have you ever heard anyone giving a position report as CAP413 says you should? But there's always a question on it in the exam. (When I was preparing for this exam, I spoke to a pilot who tried giving a position report "correctly" just to see what would happen, and ATC didn't have a clue what she was talking about!)
