![]() "Paul Sengupta" wrote in message ... This may have been after they started rolling and the 1st officer tried to question whether they had actually been cleared for take-off. The big thing is that the words "take-off" can now not be used other than "cleared for take-off". It may be the case that the Dutch captain heard the words "cleared" and "take-off" and thought that was his cue to go. ATC never used the C-word. While PanAm was still taxiing on the runway KLM was told, "OK. Standby for takeoff. I will call you." KLM then began takeoff roll, ATC's next transmission was to PanAm: ATC: "Roger. Pan Am 1736, report the runway clear." Pan Am: "OK. Will report when we are clear." ATC: "Thank you." The KLM CVR recorded the copilot saying to the captain, "Did he not clear the runway then?" "Oh yes" was the captain's reply as he continued his takeoff. |
