OK - just because I'm really bored (and slightly euphoric from a sleep deprivation/caffeine mix).

I'm not an expert and have never read JSP blah de blah . I just fly aeroplanes.

The problem with "After landing traffic, line up and wait" is when the first bit gets stepped on/scrambled so all you hear is "...line up and wait". Seen it happen with an airliner when I was on short finals (obviously he didnt look out his window, he just rolled onto the runway in front of me).

Secondly I was always taught NEVER to repeat the "clear" part of a clearance as it could be mistaken by another aircraft for their clearance. Was told this in the olden days by a QFI, so it must be true. Had to have it beaten out of me as I had all those nasty habits from Flying Scholarship days! Interesting that lessons seem to get unlearnt after a while.

Wish I was flying today instead of reading PPRuNe
