When to acknowledge ATC
ATC says "radar contact, 20 miles south of XYZ, proceed on course". Do
you acknowledge this transmission? How about when ATC says "altimeter setting 2992" on your first contact after a handoff? Does this require acknowledgement? In the past, I've acknowledged such things if the controller was not busy. But I've heard all kinds. Some people read back the altimeter setting. I've even heard people reading back the "radar contact" message. I feel that this is a waste of bandwidth. However, I don't know what ATC prefers. Do they want read back for everything, or should we shut up as much as possible? |
