Alternative Takeoff Phrases

[John_Clarke 4]

Hi Dave,

Is there anyway that a few new phrases could be implemented in the next update?

A lot of places, Australia included will use phrases to the tower such as '[Callsign] holding short of runway [xxx]' prior to them receiving their take off clearance. This allows tower to tell them to hold, line up and wait or takeoff.

Also is there a chance that a 'Cleared for immediate takeoff' and 'Be prepared for immediate takeoff' phrases could also be added if there is AI traffic nearing or on final for the runway?

Thanks

John

<CallSign> Holding Short Runway xx" should get you takeoff clearance now.

Thanks Dave. Had a look at the 'Say it' section but it wasn't in the list/

Say it does not contain all the phrases  that P2A can understand.  Only a working subset.

Interesting. Is there a reference that lists all the phrases that P2A can work with?

[Dave-Pilot2ATC 864]

There is a document called "Grammar Phrases" in the Documentation that lists all the phrases in SayIt with examples.

There is not an exhaustive list of all the variations  that P2A can understand.  Just try the phrase you want to use and see what happens.

Dave,

I found that if I used the "holding short" phrase that you mentioned above, P2A woul always respond with " I was garbeled. . ."  I have no problem using "<callsign> ready for departure runway xx."

I too had this problem. Either I was garbled, or the controller tells me that "This is tower, please repeat your request'
