GOOD TOPIC ....ONE THAT IS NEVER QUITE APPRECIATED UNTIL A DISASTER / INCIDENT TAKES PLACE ....
LOOK A ANY A/C INCIDENT / ACCIDENT AND THERE WILL CERTAILNLY ALWAYS BE A COMMS PROBLEM , OR LACK THEREOF.
CLEARANCES AND DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS TO PROCEED OR SET SPECIFIC CODES HAVE TO BE READ BACK ..... MOST IMPORTANTLY (AS THIS IS SOMETHING MOST PILOTS ARE GUILTY OF ) A FULL CALL SIGN , FULL CALL SIGN HAS TO ACCOMPANY A READBACK !!!!! ALWAYS !!!!
ANOTHER ONE IS THE READING BACK OF YOUR TAXI INSTRUCTION, MORE IMPORTANTLY YOUR "CLEARANCE LIMIT" OF THE TAXI INSTRUCTION I.E THE HOLDING POINT OR HOLD SHORT OF ..... " TAXI KILO , LIMA HOLDING POINT RWY 20 R" IS SO OFTEN SUBSTITUTED/ABBREVIATED FOR "KILO / LIMA RWY20 R " NO MENTION OF A HOLDING POINT ...THEREBY THEORETICALLY THE A/C COULD PROCEED ONTO RWY20R AS PER THE READBACK ....AND IF THERE WERE AN INCIDENT ...GUESS WHO WILL BE TO BLAME ........ IT HAS HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN ....LETS NOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER TENERIFE DISASTER ...... LETS ALL SIMPLY DO WHAT THE BOOK SAYS WE SHOULD
