Isn't the 4th the day we start to celebrate the re-election of The Don?

Thanks for posting the question. I can’t recall having seen this abbreviation before, despite having been in the profession for over forty years.

Dunno about that. I did a search for DL and there was nothing BOM-like in the first 5 million hits!

Neat, a lightning detector (I'm gonna sit with the signalling lamp all day if that is what it takes to try and trigger it).

I'd think that the usual one you'd see would be VCTS then, for the rest of the world that does not use the DL code.

Unless you get beyond 16 kilometres (then you're outside the "vicinity" reportings").

Nothing wrong with asking, ever!
After all, "the manuals"... now, how many are there again?
CARs, CASRs & all their manuals of standards, CAOs, AIP, ERSA, CAAPs, ACs and I'm sure I've missed another half dozen or so...
