I doubt I could get in a super cub. I just kind of throw myself into whatever I'm flying. Tests the suspension as well you see. Always think ahead.
Er, yeah it is. Why would you ask for an ILS if you're doing an SRA?
I thought "Vectors for the ILS" is different from an SRA?

Really, an SRA is what happens after you get vectors to the top of the glide slope.
But seriously, ATC are not stupid. They'll get your drift either way. Keep it simple and short...back on message?

I'm still relatively new but I always assumed 'active' was a US term...
When I was learning over there you would tend to let ATC know you were 'clear of the active' (out of courtesy more than necessity, they can see you anyway of course).
Whereas since I've been back here you'd tend to use the term 'runway vacated'. Or 'clear of the ...erm...runway vacated' in my case.

Following the Tenerife accuident in 1977 it was agreed that the word "Clear" should never be used by a pilot except when acknowledging a Clearance to Take Off.
"Active" is certainly not a UK phrase.

In the 60s it was referred to as the active or duty runway, military.All this civvy stuff is too long winded. "Pimpernel leader answering, Pimpernel leader answering, your message received and understood".
