We use inches of mercury for altimeter settings in Canada as well, and we know the metric system
Which begs the question - why aren't you using the metric system?

Danceswithsheep,
Could not agree more with you on that one. I cannot remember the last ATCer I took on the jumpseat. A great shame! However I will try to do an ATC visit this spring.

I have a further question:

Do you reduce the amount of information you provide in one go if you know it is a single pilot helicopter that you are speaking to ?

My question is not because I think that heli pilots have lower cognitive functions than plank drivers but because we tend to have both hands full most of the time ! and are less likely to be able to take the instruction down in writing.

Thanks
Not a reference, but a very wise instructor once said to me when issuing a heading and a climb/descent in the same transmission, always issue the heading first. That way the aircraft will be pointing where you want it, should the second half of your transmission be cut off..........which made total sense to me.
