Air Traffic Control R/T Procedure Changes

Graham Duke has kindly contributed the following:

For your information, new procedures for frequencies will come into operation on 1st May.

On that date, in UK airspace, frequencies will be spoken in 6 digits ( instead of 5 as present), except where the last two digits are both zero.

Also, the use of the word "channel" will be discontinued.

For example, 127.375 will be spoken as "one two seven decimal three seven five"

135.200 will be spoken as "one three five decimal zero"

Thanks for that info Graham.
