4Driver-----some calls have been in place for years and years. I thought you were supposed to call established? The only debate was whether to call established on the LLZ or the LLZ and GS??
In fact there have been times where ATC have indeed asked me "confirm established"? ( and they didn't request it beforehand )
If you can show me a reference in the RT manuals where we don't have to say it then I'll stop.
Until then.........WHO CARES ANYWAY...
