General phraseology and guidance in the uk
The UK uses the term pass your message rather than the international standard phraseology term go ahead in order to avoid any possible misunderstanding that the aircraft is authorised to proceed.
An ATC route clearance is NOT an instruction to take-off or enter an active runway. The words 'TAKE-OFF' are used only when an aircraft is cleared for take-off. At all other times the word 'DEPARTURE' is used.
In the UK the term holding point is used to indicate a defined location rather than holding position which is used in international standard phraseology. This is to avoid any possible confusion with the instruction to hold position at the aircraft's current location (i.e. stop).
In the UK the term millibar is used instead of the international standard hectopascal.
Some states use the term hold short to indicate that the taxi route specified crosses a runway for which an additional clearance is required, for example 'Fastair 594 taxi holding point Alfa 4, runway 27, hold short of runway 16'.
In the UK the instruction to 'hold short' is used in limited circumstances only, for example, where no holding point exists at the location that the aircraft is required stop (typically where two runways intersect and the aircraft is not to infringe thе crossing runway).
In the UK the term land after is commonly used to indicate that an aircraft is authorised to land on the runway.
60 Exercise 9.
Recommendations for Pilots:
Аircrew should carry out a pre-departure briefing to include expected taxi route and restrictions.
Plan checklist activity so as not to coincide with entering or crossing active runways. Maintain full concentration of all aircrew on the runway traffic situation.
Aircrew should have the airport diagram available for use. Pay particular attention to "hotspots" and temporary situations such as work in progress and so on.
Write down instructions and query any uncertainties. Review actual route given prior to commencing taxi.
If necessary request progressive taxi instructions.
Both pilots should monitor the ATC frequency when a clearance is issued and be in agreement with the instructions received. This is especially relevant to all instructions that include a runway crossing, take-off or landing clearance.
Always taxi defensively and DON'T RUSH.
Prior to entering or crossing an active runway verbally confirm clearance with other crew members and visually scan runway and approach area.
Ensure readback of ALL instructions containing clearances to enter or cross active runways.
Always use standards phraseology to avoid misundеrstandings. Speak slowly and clearly.
If any doubt exists ASK for clarification.
61 Exercise 10.
How to be a safe pilot
A pilot does not have to be a genius to be a safe pilot. However, a pilot should be an emotionally stable person who can accept the recommendations and rules that would assure safe operations and procedures.
The immature, emotionally unbalanced pilot has strong tendencies to satisfy a personal need regardless of the consequences.
Some pilots break rules simply for the immediate gratification of some emotional need, driven by his own emotions.
Pilots take great pride in their skills and abilities, yet they let their performance degrade due to emotions. It is in their hands to take the necessary steps to remain safe and alert.
