FAA to be phasing out "position and hold" in the US
"Doug" wrote in message ups.com... I've always had a problem with pilots at non-towered airports self announcing "position and hold on runway so-and-so". Just as soon get rid of that one too.NOt possible to see landing traffic once you are "position and hold". And they seem to be 172 drivers that do 20 minute run ups sitting on the runway.

FAA to be phasing out "position and hold" in the US
Last Friday afternoon (10 MAR 2006) I was holding short at 17L at PWA, while a
Hawker was on short final. As he touchdown, the tower told me to taxi into position and hold. I guess we haven't got the word. It was Friday afternoon and from the sound of things, I think he was the only one in the cab. The bus-jet were coming home for the weekend and the recreation pilots were get out of town for the weekend, and we were closed pattern on 17R, and a T-6 from Vance AFB did a missed approach. The controller was doing a good job of handling the traffic and TIPH just another tool to get everybody taken care of. GeorgeC
