It's worth noting that the ICAO system is not perfect from a safety point of view: it often results in the controller saying 'Expect late landing clearance' instead, and clearance to land very close to the ground. As an ICAO-based pilot, I genuinely don't know which is safer. (And I also don't think the difference was important here.)
- jnsaff2 4y agoI tend to disagree that it was not important here. At least it would have forced the controller to verify that SW is clear of the runway before clearing fedex. As it was, it cleared both and then did something else until the situation was over.
