Alpha is always available to vacate as far as ATC are concerned, except when there is an aircraft taxying for Bravo or Charlie. Doesn’t work so well then. In that case TWR should advise with the...

I think you’re wasting your breath Dukeben; every time an ATC tries to explain, the old and trite “second best” is rolled out. I’ve come to the conclusion that since back in the DCA days, the...

So is turning from Echo onto Alpha (for 34) and calling ready also bull?

You all do it guys, so don't get too narky when the opposition does it to you.

In all seriousness, it's usually first...

In Melbourne we get the wind for the ATIS and the wind we broadcast by voice from the same source. So both are either true or magnetic....I suspect magnetic though

Yet 20 years ago at my previous airport the lights could be set at any range between 10% and 100% (stage 2-6 I believe). The transmissometers knew what the intensity was and calculated the RVR...

As I said, I can't speak for TMA and en route. If you require a non duty runway for departure we change the runway in your strip. We give a 'next' call to Deps and they'll usually say 'unrestricted'....

But my point was that you won't be asked for a reason. I don't know whether the TMA or en route sectors keep a log of requirements - but we certainly don't in the tower. I'm not familiar with the QF...
