So if you want to alert SAR that you have a life raft (and it is therefore worth looking for you when you crash in freezing water) go for it. But if your message is "VFR gps" (ie please cheat and give me direct) or "I want X, Y, Z approaches" you have to keep it short and near the front. The controller only sees the first 24 characters. My favorite is still "Brian donor on board."

"Ron Natalie" wrote in message m... The controller only sees the first 24 characters. The amount of characters displayed on a flight progress strip depends on whether it's a terminal or enroute strip. In each case the full remark is available via a flight plan readout. My favorite is still "Brian donor on board." How did Brian feel about that?
