Thumbs up

You may be right about the " behind the .... line up BEHIND", Icarus - it"s the terminology theuse here in the Land of the Rising sun. I thought it was their (further) bastardisation of the English language, however now that it has been highlighted here, I realise that it has more than likely been adopted from the worst English speakers, the Septics!!

However it DOES work well, and it reduces the workload, Bloggs by allowing the ATC'ers to issue the instruction and move their focus to other areas, and for the pilot - who has multiple tasks to accomplish once cleared to enter an active runway - to space these tasks out, hence giving more time at this important stage of the flight.

The concept is good, but agreed that the phraseology is cr@p in the form quoted!!
