i used to drop meat bombs in another life and gave lots of calls prior to dropping (all good ones i hope ) . The number of other pilots doing navs etc that couldnt get their reported eta,s and actual time over station was within 10 mins was astounding . A lot were chastised by atc for being so far out . Its a big sky for everyone to use , we all have the same level of responsibility too do our best and if you can enlighten another pilot respectfully go for it and if your on the recieving end accept it respectfully ( after all i may be your boss one day , or you may be mine ) . I know i,m still learning after 35 years and will do so till i die . Happy landings .
