"With you"

[Mach 80]

Here's a tip -- no need to ever tell a controller that you are "with him" as he knows that by the fact you are talking to him. It sounds so student pilotish to hear it.

I'm just curious...what is the proper phraseology when checking in with a new controlling agency?

Mach 80... you're being redundant by posting this in more than one forum. It'll come up as a new post to those who log in.

Full callsign and altitude.

Not only that but it's only been argued, rehashed, reargued, and agreed to disagree upon about 2354295423658469435243528395289582352 million times.

And for you retards who must say the word "decimal" when getting a freq change........................knock it off! that is a long word! just say 123.75 or 134.85 or whatever. Oh yeah, take the "s" out of your call signs.

Aaaand this is Sierra Sierra Uniform with you at http://forums.flightinfo.com/showthread.php?t=80145, altitude 3 feet.

Full callsign and altitude.

actually, you only have to check in with your altitude once per artcc. once they verify it on the initial check in, they don't need it anyomore.

I always check in with "Novemeber 123 Alpha Lima, the altitude IS ten point zero, heading IS TREE FI-AVE ZERO, 20 nautical miles on the TWO SAY-VIN WON radial of the XYZ VORTAC, checking in with you with a request, over!"

Lengthy pause...then ATC replies, "November 123 Alpha Lima, radar contact, say request."

"Yea, Center, this is November 123 Alpha Lima, would it make you feel uncomfortable if we had a little chat about Jesus?"

 

[leardawg]

The most unnecessary word used by pilots on the radio (including yours truly at times):

Okay at the beginning of each reply to an ATC instruction (As in "Okaaay; Platipus 1234A is descending to flight level two eight zero.")

Listen to transmissions if you don't believe me; almost everyone does it.

....so then one should just state their call sign?
This just sounds more like a request, especially if I don't say "N12345 with you."



12345: "Boston center N12345"

BOS: "you have a request 345"?

12345: "Negative, I was told on FI it's not necessary to reveal my altitude"

BOS: "Say altitude indicated"



Anyway......I rarely go from center to center at my speeds...just approach to approach and always state callsign and altitude. Never seemed wrong and confirms my altitude with the new controllers screen.

"Decimal" is used because the rest of the world uses it as an ICAO SARP, plus it is required in the AIPs (FARs) in most countries.

I know I am going to hear from FN FAL "who gives a F about ICAO," but if you fly outside the Americas you will be chastised on the radio for not saying "decimal" and you will then look very unprofessional.

This is why you hear "decimal" in the U.S. because it is the standard phraseology just about everywhere else.
