AWOL57-
SMC can't always be watching to see where you vacate as we now a days have a lot of other stuff we need to do as well.
-and what would that be? Awol, not having a go at you...if you are busy elsewhere on a system that is only less than 6 weeks old, one does have to ask, where are your attentions most needed?
Very interested in your answer.
At MB, the procedure appears to be a taxi clearance is not required until entry to Alpha, Echo and Golf for departure. Is this just unique to MB?
