Description:

It's sad but true: In an average year, three quarters of all accidents are caused by pilot error. And the mistakes that lead to those accidents?  For the most part, they're the same ones pilots have been making for decades.  ASF's latest seminar takes a new aim at those old mistakes.  We've identified the most common fatal errors pilots make and put together a show that's full of practical tips for avoiding them.  From steering clear of weather to maneuvering safely and much more, if you're looking to minimize your chances of being involved in a fatal accident, you'll definitely want to attend this seminar!

Canada: "Line Up and Wait" Instruction
Notice Number: NOTC1165

In Canada, controllers currently use the phraseology "TAXI TO POSITION" or "TAXI TO POSITION AND WAIT" when instructing an aircraft to enter the departure runway.  As part of the continuing effort by NAV CANADA to conform with international best practices, procedures will be implemented in the near future to adopt the ICAO-recommended phraseology "LINE UP" or "LINE UP AND WAIT" when controllers instruct an aircraft to enter the runway intended for take off.  

This change will take place in April, 2008 with advanced notice published as Aeronautical Information Circular 9/08. This circular is currently available on the NAV CANADA website and may be accessed via the attached link.
