Tc-atco:
Thanks for the helpful replies ( and one or two others). But Dudeness's question is not answered. I fly a C525 -what is most helpful information as regarding aircraft type:
1. C525 - do ATCOs know every ICAO code?
2. Citation Jet (could be anything from 510 to 750)
Also, if it is for wake spacing, why not just ask for a/c wake category? At least pilots would then know why the question is being asked.
Perhaps HEATHROW DIRECTOR should consider before making his snide remarks about the OPs perfectly reasonable question that he may be busy, but is at least working in a familiar ATC environment. I'm flying into LHR for only the second time next week ( and first time single pilot) and so I'm hoping he is not on duty.
