Talkdownman and 10W, fair responses to the question.
Obwan, grow up.
The question was made in the context of the query by another poster about the use of the term 'squawk ident'. I do not see this question as being any less worthy of discussion.
You will find that many commercial pilots find reporting their aircraft type a bit annoying at their home base. This is especially so when their airline only flies one type and both the pilot and the controller know this.
If controllers are happy when an aircraft checks in and idents before the controller's response, even when this is apparently contrary to the rules, surely they might not be pedantic when a pilot omits to mention aircraft type when checking in?
