Weasil,
Well said !!

Just to drop in a small fact, English is NOT the only ICAO official language, there are, as I recall, 5, including Spanish.

Airbrake42, if you want the full story on how a position report should go out, you will NOT find it in the Australian AIP, or the Jep., that is only part of the story.

The complete ICAO SARP is in Annex 10, Vol.11, and also to be found in a slightly simplified form in the UK CAA CAP 316 ( think that's the number, but it will be in any good UK pilot shop), this CAP is an excellent reference for anybody who wants to find out what the ICAO recommendations REALLY are.

For operations outside Australia, the Australian AIP can lead a young lad or lass seriously astray. The NZ AIP is a far better publication for ICAO standards, but not quite such a useful training aid as the UK CAP.

Tootle pip!!
