I always read back any numbers given by ATC. Altimeter, runway, heading,

Does anybody have a good handle on when ATC wants you to read back
altimeter settings? On a single IFR flight on Tuesday, I encountered
several controllers who I'd check in with, and they'd give me an altimeter
setting, and that would be it, and 2 (both in Canada, BTW) whom when I
didn't read back the altimeter setting gave it to me again.

What boots up must come down.



Rodger that. I read back all numbers. It's cheap insurance.
