Thanks

1. I was always wondering, why all pilots have to confirm the aircraft type on initial contact with delivery. I thought they have a FPL with the acft on it and at least, they can see the acft out of their window?!

2.A friend, airbus pilot, told me last week, that he was a bit confused with a controller instruction at LHR: "XXX, clearance correct, HOLD SHORT and contact Ground on XXX.XXX.
Is that standard phraselogy at Heathrow. If so, why?!
