I do agree with Rod (for once)

The closest ERSA gets to calling a runway ‘active’ is….in nil wind COND use RWY ##

It is an interesting point, I do understand Aero Clubs specifically have many local procedures and so forth, not helpful for those who don’t know about it.

I recall an argument between two pilots on a CTAF only recently. Average vis and a crossing runway. One aircraft landed and advised ‘clear of the active runway’. Only thing was, he wasn’t. They exited the ‘active’ and entered to taxi along an apparent ‘non active crossing runway’. In my book they have just gone from one active to another active. Meanwhile old mate inbound picked this up and changed his arrival to the so called ‘active’. ‘Clear of the active ##’ was a pet hate of mine back in the day. Any FO who says that like one did only recently on an arrival, will receive a very sharp comment from myself.
