Default Re: Descent Question

Interesting read.
Take this is for what it's worth however. Since I've started telling controllers my heading/direct to, I have not once been told not to tell them this information. Of the few times I've left it out I've been questioned what my heading was everytime. I fly through busy sectors all the time and if the frequency is congested there are ways to help controllers out. Avoiding "uhhh", "with you", "checkin in", " in the box", "on the meter", "on board", and all the other nonsense clogs frequencies. Giving approach an assigned heading especially if its away from my destination doesn't clog the frequency.
