What are some sayings you don't hear much anymore between pilots and atc.
The one that comes to my mind is an operational saying ¨Cleared at takeoff ¨ pilots could easily mistake it for cleared for takeoff as we saw with the KLM accident at tenerife.
What are some others

Quoting JumboJim747 (Reply 2): Is this line up and wait what all countries use or just a select few.
I know its used here in Australia also.
As far as I know it is like that in most countries. I can only think of the US where it was different. But I haven't been everywhere
So maybe there are countries out there who does it differently.

Here's one: I haven't heard ATC say to "Report the outer marker" for years. They now say to report a fix usually identified by GPS. Maybe this is just a change in the US....not sure. Anybody reporting the marker any more?

Quoting Wilco737 (Reply 5): I don't know. But they changed it about a year ago or so. Maybe they recognized they were the only using different phrasiology than all the others...
That's why they did it...the FAA has been excited about runway incursions for several years and they realized they weren't helping themselves by using a different phrase than everyone else.

Another: ...perhaps a stretch....In the US we no longer hear ATC say temp in Fahrenheit. Some of us still miss the old SA (METAR) and FA (TAF). Nothing wrong with metric but temp in F is what the US still uses (like it or not) almost exclusively outside of aviation.

Quoting Wilco737 (Reply 1): This has changed now to the standard: "Line up and wait"
This is an accepted ICAO phrase. The FAA has changed several of it's "laws" to better fit with ICAO standards.

Quoting JumboJim747 (Reply 16): Oh yes the concord.
What a sad thing no one will ever hear that again.
Some ATCOs still allow climbing cruise between LAX and Tahiti PPT. So "cleared block 350 to 390" is still heard.
All the Q codes have completely disappeared : Last ones around are QNH / QFE and that's about it.
GGP, number in the approach sequence is still talked about , QFU, runway orientation -just the number nowadays...
Gone is the QGO :,closed due to weather, killed by Cat III B !
In the US the tower said for many years: "Taxi into position and hold". This has changed now to the standard: "Line up and wait".
wilco737
Which, whenever I heard it, was always abbreviated to "Position and Hold". I used to love acknowledging a Position and Hold clearance when I was giving kids a ride in the Cessna for the first time It just sounded so cool...

Quoting ThirtyEcho (Reply 18): "Turn left to XXX for radar identification."
It usually "Turn thirty degrees left/right for radar ident" and I say it at least once a week. Its used for aircraft that are negative transponder and there are alot of those up here in Alaska.
