I managed to get a pilot who I knew into the radar simulator in the UK,and he had a go at radar.We then simulated exactly what his airline does,free call in Class G in a Saab 340 FL80 250kts.The one that throws the plan you had in the bin.
The beads of sweat were forming when Gweilo Regional XXX called up,so all he could think of was ''Gweilo XXX Bug**r off''.The sim guy readback ''Gweilo XXX bug**ring off'' but let the contact continue inbound right up to the zone boundary.
Then the sim guy said ''Gweilo XXX bug**ered off but now were back''.
My friend learned a great deal about being a radar controller that day,and was as good as gold from that day on.
