The reason I put the CHIRP in was to ask why conditional clearances aren't used by mil ATCOs. The fact that the tower controller said the wrong thing was an error, but not a serious one. He couldn't say "After landing PA28, line up and wait" - the rules don't allow it - and for some reason (intimidation?) didn't want to say "Hold" to the 4-jet.

It wasn't his small error which was the issue, it was the inflexibility and unreasonable differences between civil and military R/T. But the useless purple apologist merely sought to crucify him.

Personally I think that there should be a common core standard - and that purely military procedures (VRIAB, snake climbs, SKE departures etc) should be additional to those.

I can see no reason why 'overshoot' and 'go-around' should not be harmonised.

Or is it just that there's no-one available to staff the harmonisation of civil and miltary R/T?
