The order of the call now reflects the order in C or D airspace.

The call now is "Moorabbin Tower, Arrow Alpha Bravo Charlie, Dual, Recieved November, For Circuits, Ready runway 17 Right"

It used to be "Moorabbin Tower, Arrow Alpha Bravo Charlie, is ready at runway 17 Right for circuits, recieved november, dual"

I haven't heard anyone else do it this way yet, aside myself. I keep wondering if I'm the one that's wrong....the only other format I hear is the new student, flicking between the _____ to english dictionary at the same time. That, I feel is the fault of the instructor. They should only be allowed to make radio calls once they've proved theirselves competent to do so, otherwise it is a safety issue. The live airways is no place to be practicing when some one-on-one roleplaying would make it safer.
