Runway vacated means....?
Please can a lowly pilot ask a trivial question of such grand ATCOs!
If you ask an aircraft to call "Runway vacated" at what point should they call?
1. When the aircraft has cleared the runway.
2. When the aircraft has completely crossed the line for the holding point.
I have heard arguments for both.
1. You're out of the way and another aircraft can physically fit onto the runway.
2. Until you cross this line you potentially interfere with the ILS signal so aircraft cannot use it. Also, you need to have a safe distance between you and the aircraft thundering along the runway.
