Sometimes I hear a phone ringing like sound in the background when you guys are talking. What’s that? I’m so curious.

Also, why do controllers in the UK always assign headings ending with 5? I mean not always but almost always.

Say you’re flying through Atlantis FIR and they have too much traffic or there’s a couple of CBs in that FIR and everybody is avoiding by flying away from their assigned routes or your destination is going to have a busy time with landings and takeoffs, in that case traffic using that FIR or Aerodrome get assigned a takeoff time in order to adjust or limit the traffic. That’s the delay the pilot is talking about.

Thanks! UK approaches very nice to fly. It’s so satisfying to be established on loc and glide at the same time while doing the cda.
