Radio alerting failures – happening any more?
However your rude assertion "you well knew that" is incorrect. I didn't know that. I wasn't taught that, nor was it ever explained (including the reasoning) to me until now. I don't know if its in the syllabus. If it was, it certainly wasn't brought to my attention, ever.
triadic, AeroscatS2A & wishiwasupthere outline well what reports should entail, and if something along those lines is not done as part of basic pilot training, then clearly it should be.
