And for those who cannot remember more than 3 instructions..ever heard of writing down clearances on a piece of paper..it's not THAT hard..really...

...ever heard of not being heads down during critical times. Do you write everything down? I think the controllers would rather you pay attention and read back quickly, lest they repeat their instruction because you are busy writting it down. You are really just missing the point of the thread... :ugh:

...NATS current thinking is a maximum of 2 instructions that contain numbers.This is primarily to stop level busts.Also no instructions to be given with frequency changes...

Thank you throw a dyce, I knew that I had seen it somewhere. That is exactly what I was talking about. :ok:

Now I am standing by for some smart comment from Squawk 7700. He will STEAL someones "quote" off the internet and put it in his reply so he can look intelligent.

Still can't read, can you? I was never reffering to STARs and being taken off the arrival corridor. Might want to put your glasses on and actually pay attention. If you would like to discuss that matter, all you need to do is start another thread. very simple, I'm sure even you might be albe to handle it. :ugh:

Don't worry, I won't waste any more smart comments on you, I'm afraid they are going over your head. Now leave and get back to your coloring book.... :rolleyes:

7700,
I've been using the NATS system for about 2 years now,and it seems to work fine.I guess it's like every new initiative that appears,you think why,but you get used to it.We also have to speak as you would write,to stop the machine gun list of numbers that could get confused.We very seldom have say agains anymore.Listening carefully to all readbacks is another.
It's surprising how these little changes can reduce the chances of mistakes.But as I said would they be adopted in HK?Maybe I don't know.As most of my training had to be reversed,turned inside out/upside down when working in HK,I wouldn't be too hopeful.
I would have a bet that the inner holds at TD and Sokoe are very seldom used.If there are too many a/c why not put 2 or 3 in these holds.It would free up the R/T considerably instead of the South China Sea conga.I never saw these holds used once,but the conga line was there all the time.
Anyway back to the frost and snow.:)

I think you are the one that can't read.

I wasn't refering to your post at all when I was mentioning stars.

Actually I like your childish quotes that you crib off the internet to make you look intelligent (read stupid).

Now when you are on the internet again, download some balls and a happier personality.

:ugh: OH! I thought I would use one of these as you are so fond of them.

Off to colour now
