And both are erroneous because the aircraft Captain does not give him/herelf clearance to taxy, he/she
requests it.
Furthermore, on a Military airfield (or major Civil airport) nor does the aircraft taxy using Tower frequency, but
Ground frequency, so the idea:
the radio transmission can also assure a pilot who is about to land that the aircraft taxing to the hold is not about to enter the runway
Is also completely erroneous.
The way the RAF and every major airfield I've ever operated through is as follows:
The aircraft requests taxy on 'Ground' and is given clearance, holding point (if reqd) and QFE/QNH.
The aircraft
does not tell Ground where it is going and why because it
does not have that right.
Exascoteer your opinion seems to be in complete disagreement with scarecrow450.
Probably because, in my experience, one does not allow 'Puddle Jumpers' to operate into busy Military or Civil airfields/airports for that very reason!
