All communication between the air boss and the flight stations shall be preceded by the station number.
Example: “Station 4 is ready to taxi” Station 4 taxi via Bravo, hold short of the runway.
Taxi via Alpha (Bravo) then hold short of the runway – as specified by the Air Boss and as ground traffic allows taxi to point on Alpha or Bravo that allows sufficient runway remaining for a safe departure then hold short of the runway. Advise the air boss when ready for takeoff.
Hold Short – do not cross the runway or taxiway boundary, wait for additional instructions
Example: “Station 6 hold short of the runway”.
Hold your positon – hold at your current positon, wait for additional instructions.
Example: “Station 2 hold your position”
Line Up And Wait – taxi to a takeoff position on the runway and hold, wait for further clearance.
Example: “Station 1 ready for takeoff” “Station 1 line up and wait”
