It might sound anally retentive but often the ones with the sloppy radio calls are also the ones that turn up 5 minutes late, dirty shoes, unironed shirt, sloppy SOPs, poor checklist knowledge, more interested in flying fast than efficiently, and constantly complaining about management.

Oops.

I knew I'd forget something. I'll just include the above drivel in my previous post.

DIVOSH

Haha happy to help... :)

If we're all professional pirates then why can't Mr Lightie exercise a degree of airmanship when following a medium?

And when you hear the wake turbulence advice from ATC, that's their obligation as per their procedures. And if we all read the AIP then we would all have a fair idea of what is Light / Medium / Heavy. I fly a medium category and as Airmanship guides me, I know to give myself space behind a heavy.

Therefor at your local CTAF you won't hear a "caution I'm a massive medium pole smoker...." Because that's your problem if you haven't already taken care in my wake
