Initial R/T call to London control correct phraseology

[Kiltie]

Off EGPE and EGPD Radar Frequencies outbound, the call to the first Scottish sector has historically required a passing level. If not initially offered, it is usually always then requested by the ScATCC controller.

Thanks, I will see if they ask me for one next time I go up there... I was thinking that it might be due to the fact that Inverness have only had radar for a few years, so Scottish would have still have the habit of expecting the passing level as they would for a/c from Stornaway or Dundee. Aberdeen have had radar since Pontius was a pilot so who knows?..
