This would possibly be better posted elsewhere, but as the thread is here I'll ask anyway...Do pilots understand that when given a land after, responsibility for ensuring separation is with them? (i.e. i'm not saying you're cleared to land, i'm saying, if you're happy to do so, you can land at your discretion.)
I ask because I gave a land after the other day which was followed by:-
'xxx123, roger land after the 737 runway 27L' followed by 5 seconds of silence then 'xxx123 just confirm we're cleared to land?'!!!
Are commercial pilots taught during training about land after clearances?
