ATC and push back terminology
'Give Way' was dropped for very good reasons:
1. It is not a standard phrase in ICAO radiotelephony, but had crept into usage at Manchester and probably other UK airports.
2. The term 'Give Way' implies that you may proceed when you think your path is clear of other traffic (as in the sense it is applied at a road junction), whereas ATC were applying it with specific reference to other traffic. This caused misunderstandings with some non-English pilots and was a contributory factor in two notable taxiway collisions at Manchester. I recommend reading the AAIB reports.
Attempts are underway to reduce the number of incorrect pushback maneouvres. One factor is the difficulty tug crews have interpreting the compass points. The solution on trial is to replace compass points with easily identifiable landmarks e.g. 'West Gate security post'. There should be no 'ers' because these are written down on the pushback procedure sheet wherever applicable. Need to read ATC Supplementary Instructions, perhaps.
