Confusing one for me Is LIGHT OFF call during engine start. Especially when during the start you are also monitoring warning lights that you also expect to go OFF.
Glad you brought that one up. I spent 10 years reading Bombardier documentation that refers to 'Light Off' during the start sequence. Now I'll reluctantly go along with 'Touch & Go' when doing Rollers, but I ain't ever going to teach an RAF student to use the term 'Light Off' when he starts a jet engine! (or is that now called a gas turbine!?)
