At "Manch", we had a 10min call so that the "Ground Movement Planner" [ATCO] could pass the Departure strip to the [ground] ATSA to pass the "Start and SID" to the Radar Sector. Which was then passed to the Radar Sector Controller for "initialisation".
We now have a "Link" between the Ground ATSA and the Sectors which removes the need for a 10min call.
Depending on the R/W in use, [times promulgated], the SID is "standard" as is the squawk. You can call anytime" for your SID and if we have it, you will get it
we aim to please, it keeps the cleaners happy
