Hi!
Some days ago I was asked to report some spot winds (at different altitudes). As usual, I replied to the ATC request with these words "spot wind 130°, 24 Knots".
The captain told me I had to say "spot wind 130°, diagonal 24 Knots" while another captain said it's not standard so it's right not to say it.
Now, my doubt is......is the word "diagonal" requested by the standard radio phraseology or is a word used to be said by many pilots in the world but not standard?
It's just curiosity :8
