Hi eckhard, thanks for the response
Once you have told Reykjavik Control, there is no need to repeat any info to Iceland Radio.
Then why does Iceland Radio ask "Whats your next OCA" if you dont tell him on initial contact. May be Reykjavik Control does not tell Iceland about the aircraft's next OCA and Iceland radio believes that they have to pass the complete info to Reykjavik, so they need to know the next OCA. Just assuming ...
In anycase when we get the clearance through datalink and the concerned OAC knows our exit point and route then why do they need to know the next OCA?
You should squawk 2000 20 minutes after entry into an OCA
the NAT ops bulletin checklist says 30 min, is there a different ruling on this one?
On an eastbound flight entering from Gander and going to Reykjavik OCA on a random route, some people dont change the squawk until told by Reykjavik. Is there a ruling on this one. I dont see any reason why you should not change squawk in this case 20 or 30 min after entry in to Gander OCA. I dont think it has anything to do with Random route or NAT Tracks either.
Looking forward to your feedback
Thanks
