Well, I'll take your word for it. But, if you re-read the comment there is more than a hint of censure there !
I used to talk to ATC. Now, I avoid CAS like the plague. Why ? I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that after listening to many on route exchanges that are often testy, short tempered and in many cases because of the rapid and therefore barely intelligable rate of ATC speech, are often diifficult to understand, I am better off avoiding all together.
Yes, I do agree, many GA pilots are hesitant with lots of errs and umms. Could they be nervous and apprehensive? What they don't need is some pressurised and therefore short tempered ATC adding to their nervousness.
Not every GA pilot is an ATP. Some are barely thru' their training. Some are well thru' their training but gaining experience. ATC be kind to them all and cut them some slack !
