Kieran,
Thanks, not for a moment did I think cold launching into an IFR taxiing HF report would ever be a success.
le Pingouin,
Can I take it you are a Centre operator and you do prefer a heads up prior to launching into a VHF taxiing report.
Because it seems we now have two from the same field with somewhat opposing views, well at least in so far as being superfluous, personally my gut instinct is a quick 3 to 4 second "ML Centre XXX IFR taxi", can't really be an imposition on anyone but an aid to some.
Are there any guidance notes that give a detailed insight for pilots on what and how each division of ATC operates?
