Are US Tower / Ground handover procedures different from Europe?
Relatively new to US operations and can't find anything online which addresses this issue.
When about to cross / vacate a runway and told by tower which exit to use and contact ground do you expect me to wait until clear of the active runway before making the call to ground.
In Europe we wait until the tail is clear before transferring to tower.
The guy I flew with into LAX after we had landed on 24 R and held short of 24 L who suggested we call ground whilst the nose was still on 24 L (which had an aircraft about to depart). Thanks in advance.
