All mobiles, only messages of safety, urgent or above
Control cannot deal with ordinary air traffic at the moment so
only call in if you have a message of real safety (immediate danger of some
sort) or an urgent message (reporting injury/suspected injury). This usually
indicates there is a serious incident Control is dealing with so listen hard
and keep the air clear unless you feel your transmission is essential.
