"Fully visual" is pointless trivia that should be ignored or acknowledged only by ATC. It is used by lazy pilots instead of a proper request for a visual approach but I am surprised ATC continue to issue a Visual Approach clearance based on this rubbish alone.

Why do many pilots still readback "Climb NOW FL190" as "Climb FL190" ?

Why, when ATC give a conditional "After the landing Easyjet Airbus A319...." do folk readback "after the landing aircraft...."

I don't understand why people have difficulty in reading back exactly what they've just been told but choose to put their own twist on it. Maybe a more useful RT exam should be to reach an acceptable score on crappy 1980s electronic game "Simon" to prove you can repeat what you've just heard.
