Position and Hold, No Takeoff clearance

Featured Replies

Flying IFR KDAB KGNV, all goes well till I'm cleared for position and hold. At that point, the tower no longer actsas if I'm there. Other planes cleared to land through me, etc..Any thoughts?Thanks in advanceSlugger

I have had this happen for two reasons. If the tower didn't hear my response (usually just your call sign). The text will turn blue when the speech recognition recognizes your call sign, that doesn't always mean that it registered with the program, try repeating your last response. Position can also be important and if you have pulled too far forward on the runway or used an alternate entry point for the runway, that can also cause problems. Try it again with these two things in mind and see if you still have problems. If you are having a consistent problem with one particular airport or runway make sure you let customer support know about it.Zane
