I agree with Rainboe, stopping for an HF call is not usually a factor to consider.
Our circumstances were different though,
- we were the only aircraft there (no others in approach either),
- long runway, engines had not fully spooled up yet,
- as an operator we don't normally get HF calls, and when... in the past they have been for serious reasons.
- below 70kts the TO Inhibit warning/(call suppression) feature isn't yet active so by design we're open to receive new information & have to time to act on it either way.
Thanks for all the responses so far. The main question I had was whether other guys were also experiencing this kind of thing, and whether the trend is increasing...
Best wishes for the festive season
