Dear qUadform,
may you not forget the most important thing..When we go to another country, we are the `guest` there , so we need to follow those rules and procedures, whatever they are..Right ??..When you go visit your next door neighbour, you are not (I hope) lecturing them about what to do in their own house..
I also have flown in all of those areas you mentioned, for several years, and hold different licenses from different parts of the world, inluding the FAA..And I respectfully disagree with your post..I find the controllers and the ATC system in North America very good and professional..No doubts about that..Yes, it is a bit different than elsewhere, but as a pilot our english should be good enough to be able to handle it..The US has their ways, we got ours..Thatīs it..
Fly safe !!
