An awful lot of "musts" in your post. You seem very sure of yourself.
Please post references to back this up for UK rules. (We've seen the FAA reference) It's just that I've never come across this as a mandatory requirement in some 30 years of airways flying and neither has any instructor I know, so one of us must be wrong...
ps. good practice is not the same as a mandatory requirement as i've said
ad nauseam- but you insist this is mandated in the ANO. Please quote the reference or retract the statement.
