CTA transition in Germany - R/T procedure

Hi all,

So after having obtained my PPL in the US (and having flown inside and outside of CAS there) and having done some post-PPL flying "back home" in Germany in uncontrolled airspace, I'm now boldy ;-) going to request a crossing of Dusseldorf CTA.

In principle, I believe I know what I'm doing (i.e. what to ask for and what to expect). But rather than making a fool out of myself, I'd like to reassure myself that I'm expecting the R/T dialog to be something like this. Any advice (what to expect, what to omit, etc.) will be much appreciated.

A = Air, G = Ground
=========
A: Dusseldorf Tower, D-Exxx
G: D-xx, Dusseldorf Tower
A: D-xx is a Cessna 152, VFR, local flight from Essen-Mulheim, position 2 miles east of Duisburg at 2200 feet with information (x), request mid-field south-bound transition via November, Sierra.
G: D-xx, transition approved via November and Sierra, at or above 2000 feet, report November, squawk 1234
A: transition approved at or above 2000 feet, squawk 1234, D-xx

...

A: D-xx, overhead November

... (after leaving CTA)

A: D-xx, request frequency change
G: D-xx, frequency change approved, squawk 7000
A: Frequency change approved, squawk 7000, bye

=============

Is that what's going to happen? ;-)
