R/T Question for ATCers
I have 2 queries from this thread.
1. When departing YBAS it is not uncommon to be instructed to "contact ML CEN passing 5000ft" with the Take-Off clearance. In such a scenario does the tower controller still require a Departure Report (assume non-radar) and if not, why does the procedural unit (in this case ML CEN) require a different departure report? Why is the tracking information with reference to the navigation aid/SID not needed by Centre? (Refer AIP AIP GEN 3.4 - 5.14.8 Section 3)
2. My operator recently published something that said "HEAVY/SUPER" must be added to all initial transmissions to SMC, TWR and APP/DEP. I beleive that is not an unreasonable interpreatation of AIP. I can understand the need for most, but why SMC on Taxi/pushback and why TWR on arrival. Doesn't somebody else do the wake turbulence separation?
