LAX has had one accident and two very near misses in the last thirty years and historically up to eighteen runway incursions every year. Thirty seconds before KLM hit the Pan Am at TFN Pan Am transmitted
"And we're still taxiing down the runway, the clipper one seven three six."
I want to be on Tower to be in a position to make that call. Really surprised that with all the procedural trivia that is written this is not spelt out anywhere.
Cossack - Of course I listen out before transmitting. Unfortunately in the US airports I visit there is NO communication between ramp,ground or tower on stand allocation so in the 24R LAX example neither tower nor ground know which way to route you after leaving the runway.
Fly 3 - Using both boxes is what we do at New York as we vacate and is probably what I will do in LAX from now on.
