Recently, however, we've been getting more coming through requiring that readback even when the routing is simply direct. I don't know what causes this, and haven't been able to get an answer on it yet (we've also had VFR flight strips come through requiring a readback of the routing... this leads me to believe it's a glitch)
Since we don't generally look at the routing on a strip before you call for clearance we don't go asking flight planning why the readback is required ahead of time. When you call and we look at the clearance, it's just quicker to get the "direct" readback than to go looking for reasons for it.
Thanks... The first time it happened the controller said something along the lines of "I guess you need to read this all back....?" sounded a little confused himself. He had a few other aircraft calling for clearance at the same time so I figured I'd save the "do you have time for a question" for another day.. Or a lazy layover and avcanada... haha |
