Re: "Cross Sharr at 7000..." I knew it was in there, but I couldn't put my finger on it. OK, I was too lazy to look. FWIW, I believe that one should include a reference with any statement made in a debate.
I assume you always report established in a hold too, huh?
Also, notice the time frame in the scenario I described for the communications between ATC, the captain and me. If we were given a crossing restriction 5 minutes before we need to start the descent, I fully agree that we need to advise ATC. However, if it is a bang-bang, then I don't think its necessary, since we're basically starting the descent at the same time I'm reading it back. |
