 Re: "With Request"
It's purely a judgement call on the part of the pilot... if you come up on freq and things don't sound too busy you can add information. There is really no right or wrong way to do things, it really comes down to judgement on your part. Generally when we tell a VFR A/C go ahead after initial call up we are listening carefully because we often expect to get a fair amount of information and adding a request such as a rwy or specific approach only gives us a better picture of what your intentions are. Often we have to coordinate many requests with other sectors or facilities so the extra info does help. |
