Re: Question for LHR ATC
When discussing where it is written that ATC can issue conditional line-up clearances I have this question;
Where is it written that pilots must be able to recognise other aircraft types?
It is easy for ATC because they have it written on the datadisplay but us pilots don't have that kind of info available. Yes, most of us will know most of the types but is there a requirement to do so and if not should ATC base clearances on information that the pilot may not have and may not be required to have?
Regards,
DFC

It's not, but is it too much to expect that if flight crew do not know what a said aircraft looks like, they will say so and ask for confirmation?

I know what will solve the issue, wouldnt it be a great idea if BA spent a few million commisioning artists from around the world to design unique tail schemes representing their local culture. Repaint the fleet and problem solved !!!
Re: Question for LHR ATC
I doubt it is written anywhere that professional pilots should be able to recognize other aircraft types, nor is it written that you should know your left from your right, up from down or a*se from elbow. I think it all comes down to that lovely word, airmanship. I'll bet too that it's not written down anywhere that a vet should be able to tell the difference between a horse and a cow. Some things just are.
