This discussion just proves my point.
Try that kind of RT at Heathrow and you will soon learn.
Remember, poor RT has caused many accidents.
I remember being cleared for an ILS approach to runway 01. Clearance was "clear runway one" (Yank controller).
When I queried this, all I received was "clear runway one". I was tempted to ask where runways two and three were and whether the transmission was instructing another aeroplane to CLEAR runway zero one, which would have indicated that the runway was not clear.
Is that clear y'all? Y'all fly safe now, y'hear?
