How can you be partially established on the ILS? You are either established or you are not.

Found this on another website:

He's obviously using the new ATC nomenclature that came in effect at Jan 1st:

-Ready for departure: We've made up our minds where we want to go, now we can start up the engines

-Fully ready for departure: Engines are running, passengers are inside, now starting checklist

-Fully fully ready for departure: start up checklist completed, now starting with takeoff checklist

-Absolutely, completely, really, really and fully ready for departure to the fullest, now give us take off clearance immediately or else: "ready for departure" in 2014 speech
