Excessively long ATC instructions
Do ATC have guidelines for the maximum length of an ATC instruction?
I find I have a brain-limit of about three sets of numbers - eg a heading, an altitude, and (say) a speed. More than three sets of numbers (eg add frequency change to that list) and I am lost.
If I know I am going to get a long instruction (eg especially taxi instructions) I write it down - but that is not practical for every ATC instruction in the air.
