Classic. Don't do what the book says, do what you think Annex X Vol 2 wants you to say. Bla Bla bla!
Bloggs,
Unlike you, I actually know and understand what Annex X, Vol 2 (or PANS/RAC 4444) says, including the history of it's development --- as well as the Australian AIP, and its great gaps in this area.
There is far more than just standard phrases, it's all about how to communicate --- including, for example, how you vary what you have to say, depending on the circumstances.
In complete contrast to the
Great Australian One Size Fits All, rote repetition without too much (any??) thought at to what and why.
Thank goodness for spreading CPDLC position reporting, I am increasingly spared the agony of listening, too often, to many an Australian trained pilot trying to pass something as simple as a position report on a busy frequency --- and get it ICAO correct.
Why don't you do something smart, invest in a copy of UK CAA CAP413 (99.9% straight ICAO) and actually learn about "aviation communications". It is a great pity there is no similar CAAP here in Australia, it's a great training and reference tool.
Tootle pip!!
