was advised of the following radio requirements
Even though the current recommended/required calls are stupid, that list far exceeds the recommended calls, and "all stations" was superceded years ago. Like far too many instructors in our game, whoever was in the other seat had simply made up their own rules and put them up as gospel. Just the kind of person to give flight instructors a bad name.
We do need to sort out the radio requirements, but we also need to sort out "pilots" like this who make it harder for all of us.
