So at EGAA I asked for an ident on departure (from either airport in the Belfast TMA). I received it...verified and validated. Then the jocks asked for it all over again on transfer. It did seem to upset crews who never fully understood why my validation/verification process appeared not to satisfy the centre. The process was NOT reversed as silent handovers( subject to certain conditions being met) were the order of the day.
We (Belfast) did try to get it changed but with no success.
