Stop at the runway hold line, contact control tower via 2 way radio to ask for permission to enter/cross
Before entering a runway, ensure you have received clearance from air traffic control (ATC) and are aware of any active operations. Conduct a thorough check of the area for other aircraft or vehicles, and confirm that your aircraft is properly configured for the runway environment. Additionally, communicate your intentions clearly to your crew and maintain situational awareness throughout the process.
The last statement typically made before crossing an active runway is "Cleared for takeoff" or "Crossing runway [number]." This statement is communicated to confirm that the aircraft or vehicle has received authorization from air traffic control to proceed. It's crucial for safety, ensuring that all parties are aware of the movement on the runway.
"Taxi along the runway" refers to the movement of an aircraft on the ground, specifically on the runway, as it prepares for takeoff or after landing. This process involves the pilot steering the aircraft using the taxiways to reach the designated takeoff or landing area. Taxiing is a crucial phase of flight operations, ensuring that the plane is safely positioned before entering the active runway.
