The Tenerife crash invovled the KLM flight being in position in hold. The first officer called in saying they were "ready for their ATC clearance." What he got back was an IFR clearance" "Cleared to Papa Beacon ... What were they doing in position for takeoff without an IFR clearance in hand???

"John Harper" wrote in message news:1069786900.839440@sj-nntpcache-3... Actually there are some changes as a result of Tenerife. For example in the UK the word "cleared" is used only in "cleared for takeoff". Other uses (e.g. for taxi) use some other word, "permission" iirc. What is used for IFR clearances? |

"Teacherjh" wrote in message ... What were they doing in position for takeoff without an IFR clearance in hand??? It's a rather small airport and several rather large aircraft had diverted there for weather. They were preparing to depart, awaiting their clearance. |

"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. |

I've never tried to fly IFR in Europe so I have no idea. Maybe
somebody else can answer...? John "Ron Natalie" wrote in message . .. "Bob Gardner" wrote in message news:8dPwb.304758$Tr4.962384@attbi_s03... Ignore Tenerife for the moment. John Harper said that in Europe, the word "cleared" was no longer used except for takeoff clearances. In your reply, you said, in so many words, that nothing similar had been done in the US. My post was intended to point out that something has indeed been done in the US. He was following up comments on Tenerife, and I asked "how do you get your IFR clearances." I was specifically asking how his would have hellped Tenerife (perhaps there was more to it than he was saying)., Your comments are off the topic. |

PAN: We're still taxiing down the runway, Clipper 1736 They did use the C word in delivering the IFR clearance. The CVR out of the KLM shows the captain saying (in Dutch) "we're going" between the OK and the Stand By instruction. |

The CVR out of the KLM shows the captain saying (in Dutch) "we're going" between the OK and the Stand By instruction. Yes, they used the C-word in delivering the IFR clearance. How would they issue an IFR clearance without using it? But Paul Sengupta wrote, "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 said "OK. Stand by for take-off, I will call you." No C-word. |

You don't await IFR clearance sitting on the runway. I don't care what kind of airplane you are, or why you diverted. When waiting for an IFR clearance, you stay off the runway. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |
