Questions for the UK
Hi there,
I am flying as a F/O on a corporate jet, sometimes our trips take us to the UK. I would like to ask you some questions:
* on many airports (eg Luton) the controller doesn't say "cleared ILS rwy XX", just "descend with the glide". Is this some special procedure? Sometimes we are only cleared for the localizer and have to ask for the glide...
* ATIS says "report aircraft type on first contact" - first contact with which station?
* after T/O in many smaller airports we are asked "what services do you request"? - what are our choices? what else than full ATC service?
* Northolt offered to chose between PAR and SRE approach - what the hell is the difference?
Sorry guys, I know I would find some answers in the AIP but we are not familiar with these things on the continent.
... and why are there 2 separate faucets for hot and cold water in the bathrooms? ;-)
thank you
