Hi all,
Firstly, I've done a search and found numerous discussions that are similar, but they all appear to relate to commercial traffic, not private pilots. I'm hoping you ATCO's can answer my question and I can therefore make your life a tiny bit easier, or at least stop pi55ing you off!
When I transit Class D, or enter a MATZ, I'm nearly always given a squawk. Occasionally I'm asked to ident, but not always. Upon selecting the squawk shoud I be automatically identing, which I do currently, or does that cause an annoying blip or something for you guys that is distracting?
I seem to spend half my flight time transiting Luton currently, and don't want to keep annoying them!
All answers greatly appreciated.
