What does “no service required” mean? Exactly what it says; ATC will not have to (though they will likely try – it’s ingrained) give you any service, e.g., basic service, traffic service, etc. and that way they will not bug you unless they have to. | What does “no service required” mean?

Remember that distances, flight levels, bearings, and times are read as separate digits e.g., “GUSSI radial 120° at 20nm, FL140 is spoken as “GUSSI radial one two zero degrees, two zero nautical miles at Flight Level one four zero”. | Remember that distances, flight levels, bearings, and times are read as separate digits e.g., “GUSSI radial 120° at 20nm, FL140 is spoken as “GUSSI radial one two zero degrees, two zero nautical miles at Flight Level one four zero”. | ||

When giving a distance and bearing it’s from a waypoint, not to the waypoint. It’s possibly easier to say for example, North West of GUSSI (for example). Also, it’s best to work in nautical miles. | When giving a distance and bearing it’s from a waypoint, not to the waypoint. It’s possibly easier to say for example, North West of GUSSI (for example).

The reason for telling ATC the maximum level you expect to cross the airway is that ATC must sterilize a defined airspace box to protect other IFR or VFR traffic. Giving ATC a maximum FL makes it easier for them. | The reason for telling ATC the maximum level you expect to cross the airway is that ATC must sterilize a defined airspace box to protect other IFR or VFR traffic.
