I know this is an IFR forum but your opinion is appreciated.

Scenario: you are receiving VFR flight following and are handed off
to another controller. You call up the new controller to make
initial contact. According to a controller I overheard yesterday,
this callup is incorrect:

"Name Center, Cessna 12345, five thousand five hundred."

This controller told every single pilot who checked in this way that
they were to state that they were VFR.

"Name Center, Cessna 12345, five thousand five hundred, VFR."

Is this new? It was news to everyone who got "the lesson" from this
controller. Thanks.

If you've been handed off to him by another controller, he already
knows you are VFR. If he needs you to tell him that, he isn't on top
of things.


What a ****ing idiot. You don't fly Anthony. You don't know the system.
And you don't have the slightest idea of proper radio procedure.

Go stick your head back up your ass.
