No you can't use airband receivers !

The airconditioning system after engine start uses compressed "bleed"air from each engine. This is clean air drawn into the engine but inevitably during start there is often a smell of kerosene in the vicinity of the aircraft which is often drawn into the aircraft for a short spell. It can also occur when taxing behind or holding behind another aircraft.
