Default With the wind?
In article ,
says...


Can I add one to the list: "sir" (or "ma'am" counts too). As in "XX radar,
good morning sir, G-ABCD, PA-28 blah, blah, blah ...".


A controller once told me over lunch that he was irked by "all this sir stuff"
and would prefer businesslike manner - just state what you want. Maybe that's
just him. . .


Once a tower controller, seeing a developing conflict, sent a slower plane out
on an extended downwind to get him out of my way, and gave me priority to land.
I thanked him for his cooperation, and he yelled at me for wasting his time!
