Fine, I'll try it next time I'm stateside. Do I need to change my accent as well
With 30 years of experience, surely then you can cite and reference the specific ICAO-published standard phraseology a pilot uses to request emergency equipment to be standing by?

"Request equipment standing by" is plain language. "Roll the trucks" is also plain language in the U.S, understood by pilot and controller to mean the same thing , and meets the brevity requirement.

So what are the correct magic words?...the specific phraseology?
