For those that love to say 'reference the omni/NDB' when departing non-towered aerodromes:

1. Pull out Jepps or AIPs
2. If Jepps, go to section ATC, Communications para 8.8 (page AU-936). If AIPs, go to GEN 3.4 para 5.14.8 (page GEN 3.4-56).
3. Have a read of 'Departure Report - Procedural when notifying departure report to a control tower'.
4. Then read the next item 'Departure Report - non-towered aerodrome'.
5. Compare and contrast.
6. Stop saying 'reference the omni' when departing a non-towered aerodrome.

You Qlink pilots started it, now every man and his dog is using it!

For those jumping on the 'get over poor R/T' bandwagon - it's our job to get the correct information to ATC efficiently. It's really not that hard.
