"FULLY ready" is a heap of habitual nonsense as Avman says. "FULLY ready" with the doors wide open and the tug not connected is doubly crap, not least naive. Look to your left and right guys as we on adjacent stands are shaking our heads in disbelief
"4321 THE squawk" ....thats another embarrassing attempt to sound "cool". Being asked to squawk is an instruction, but many pilots don't want to read it back as "squawk 4321 G-ABCD." Why?
"G-ABCD WITH YOU" = stating-the-obvious crap.
"COPIED / ready to COPY G-ABCD" = CB radio crap.
"
OK, join left base etc." = over-relaxed crap.
"To tower eighteen one, G-ABCD" = cringeworthy crap.
"G-ABCD ready." = ready for what? cryptic crap.
"Tower G-ABCD WITH YOU (
) FULLY ESTABLISHED ON THE GLIDE (
) at erm.....errrr....four point five DEE
" = long winded unnecessary crap.
"LAND G-ABCD" = over stern crap. (this is a clearance and should be read back as such including the words CLEARED TO..., it's not a demand from ATC that you
must land at all costs.)
"We have him on TCAS" = useless crap.
God why do these n**bers think this makes any difference to the controller?
RT is surely one of the most repetitive and therefore easiest part of a commercial pilots life so why do so many people disregard it as secondary to just about everything else? In the last two UK airlines Ive worked for the TRI / TRES have demonstrated some of the worst RT I have ever heard! If good RT practice cant be demonstrated from the top of the trainig tree in airlines then Im afraid controllers its never going to get any better. The fact is preccious few pilots care and those that do are tarred with the nit picking brush.
