Totally Ready

Forget 'fully ready', that's so last year.

From now on, your not ready to go until you call 'totally ready'.

Who's with me?

What is needed is an list of acceptable adjectives to describe the state of readiness, published by notam.

For example at times I feel "somewhat" ready, many times I am "not really" ready but want to queue up, but I will be ready by the time ATC gets to me. When I am heading home on the last leg I am "absolutlely" ready.

I asked a BA airbus if he was ready (at the holding point) and the response was "Like you wouldn't believe." - I'm thinking of submitting a CAP413 change request to include it.

You could be ''Regionally Ready''.
