| Dec 23, 2023 at 12:23 | comment | added | Timbo | @tedioustortoise, what Annex 10 standard is not being followed? The list of differences with ICAO standards is common for every country and is found in the GEN 1.7. faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/aip_html/… | |

It was a kind of a trademark. Guy was extra friendly. I think, to a certain degree, the informality brightens the mood you might say. I was always careful to be really cheerful and polite with ATC ("good morning" "see ya", "have a great one" where air time permitted). I thought it made everybody's day better and fostered goodwill. I think a stricter environment isn't much safer and is just less pleasant. Granted, oddball wording is a bigger issue b/c of the confusion risk. | |
| Dec 21, 2023 at 17:43 | comment | added | tedioustortoise | I’m surprised by the assertion that there is no requirement for pilots to utilize standardized phraseology in ATC communications in the US. Considering the USA’s status as an ICAO member state, I would expect the US AIP to align closely with ICAO standards, particularly those outlined in Annex 10 concerning aeronautical telecommunications. Could you clarify how this apparent discrepancy between US practices and ICAO Annex 10 is addressed within the US AIP? What differences from ICAO Annex 10 are given in the AIP? | |
