For god's sake, why don't the British use STANDARD ICAO phraseology instead of always wanting to reinvent aviation and by doing so making things worse, even dangerous!!

I refuse to respond to a "close the localiser from the right, descend with the glide". I want to hear a "cleared ILS". Just like anywhere else in EASA territory, and practically worldwide.

I refuse to respond to a "turn right heading 040 degrees". Either it is "turn right 40 degrees "or it is "turn right heading 040". Only in the UK you have these morons mixing both.



rant over.
