I'm ready for take off if I'm IFR, I say "Ready for Release". Since
then I've never had a problem.

BTW: Once this could have been really dangerous. I was flying out of
Santa Barbara where they often use a different runway for IFR and VFR.
I told the tower I was ready to take off on runway XXX. Tower
responded with "Cleared for take off". I said "that airliner on final
looks really close". Tower said "Oh, I thought you were VFR I didn't
realize you were at runway XXX". So bottom line, never say "take off"
when you're IFR.


For similar reasons I announce something like "Cessna XXX ready at
runway XXL(R) IFR(VFR whichever way)"

At my home airport the parallel runways are quite close together and we have
something like five flight schools so its sometimes kinda hard to tell which
runway the final traffic is lined up on. I swear I saw one pair apparently
swap runways on short final
