They'll be able to stop saying it on 1 July, when the BK 4 Departure comes into effect - because it is stipulated on the departure plate.
BTW - isn't it departing off runway 11 where this requirement comes into play? ... (Looks suspiciously like the missed approach on the 11C RNAV approach.)
Hey, FJ44 - I wasn't flying and couldn't listen in on BK twr frequency today. Who were IFR departures making their departure call to (Tower or Departures?), at what stage of the SID were they making it, and in what format (full procedural style, as required by AIP, or the abbreviated 'radar environment' style of departure report)? Just curious, coz I haven't had to do it myself yet (and none of the docs or training materials explain this
) ...
