It's an easy sentence, agreed. However, it is NOT a sentence in the

The AIM and glossary do not provide sentences, only sentence fragments
(with rare exceptions).

It is
also not the proper way to phrase a question in standard phraseology.
It is plain English, but that doesn't help a foreigner trained to
expect standard aviation phraseology. And THAT is exactly what
standard phraseology is for.

If the foreigner can understand English, he can understand
"non-standard" phrases.


God you're an idiot.
