Maybe finger trouble (oops) on my part , I missed the end part initially.
Totally agree, some UK pilots should "get out more" and cleared for the ILS is just that , cleared for the "ILS "I.E LOC & GS, but the wee lambs sometimes need reassurance, us old farts know what the foreigners mean
I think "degrees" "altitude" "feet" etc is technically ICAO correct, but don't have anything to hand to back up that opinion.
Think QNH on first alt is a must, acquired recently the (psychological) scars and bruises to justify that opinion too.
Sorry, more thread drift, "vive la france" I say (just to head in the "bon cap")
or is it "bonne cap" ? Duh
