Hello all,
Inbound to EGGW yesterday on a L2Q arrival, I am used to giving the destination airports ATIS code with QNH and aircraft type on first contact with Essex, and have been doing so for years.
I then get handed on to Luton approach 129.55, who after my initial call to them with heading, speed and cleared level, curtly requested that I declare aircraft type, and what ATIS code and QNH I was in receipt of.
So whats changed here?
Either:
A. I don't need to give this additional information to Essex at all;
B. We now need to give this additional information twice;
C. Essex and Luton controllers didn't communicate on this occasion.
