Exactly.
Pretty much as above.
“C/s, report ready for departure” – “C/S, wilco”
Readbacks – any clearance or number. Simples. :)
I use Roger THAT (after watching too many american movies)

Thanks, I missed that. :-)
BTW and OT: Roger Wilco was the main character in the old Space Quest game series.

If a message doesn’t legally require a readback, you can just press the transmit button quickly two times. Bap, bap.

We were discussing compliance with phraseology. Bap bap is not compliant

Interesting. The only time I do that is after establishing two way with no other reason to transmit than to reassure the controller that the transmission was heard.
“Brussels, G-ATSZ good morning, flight level 90 inbound SASKI”
“G-ATSZ good morning, radar contact”
Bap bap
I could use the callsign, but if someone else happened to bap bap at the same time it doesn’t seem to lead to a critical situation.

In reality, must pilots (including airline) don’t even confirm a mere “radar contact” with anything. I do that, too. After all, this is usually just after checking in on a new frequency. So if the pilot hadn’t got the reply, he would call again after a few moments.
