Similarly, with say an engine problem on takeoff, I might declare "C/S Pan x 3, Engine Failure, Standby" and I would expect no or little reply... (but bet I would get one!) not "The weather is this, contact XYZ, how many PoB". But "C/S Pan x 3, Engine Failure, Standby for intentions" I would expect to be acknowledged... i.e. the Standby refers to a particular item that is being awaited, not a general "keep quiet, I'm busy"
Nicely explained, thank you, understood from my side, wouldn't it be great if this was standarised?
In the UK you would not get this problem as they would clearly ask you to : " Hold Position , and stby for push and start" Forcing you for an acknowlegment and not leaving any space for doubts
