| Subject: | Re: memory versus tape |
short term memory, repitition and read back comes with practice, but at a
towered airport with expected complex taxi instructions, have a pencil in
your hand and paper on the knee before you call - and use some sort of
"shorthand" to abbreviate as it comes across. More important than reading it
back is following exactly what they tell you to do. I also almost always
call the ground control before crossing any runway "Is 125GS cleared to
cross 34?" Sometimes they get upset and say "your taxi clearance assumes
that" but I don't care. I'd rather use 15 secs of radio than get twanged.
Having the shorthand written instructions in front of you helps - you can
also have on the other knee the airport diagram -
No electronic gizmo is going to accomplish all that. But it is cool to show
off to people.
