SOMETHING every student pilot should know is this: When ATC tells you to hold short of a runway, that instruction needs a readback which includes your callsign and the hold point. If you don’t provide one, ATC may repeat the instruction until you do, or specifically request a readback. You should be alert to provide the readback without having to be asked.<\/p>\n
As it states in TC AIM RAC 4.25: <\/p>\n
But when ATC tells you to contact tower “holding short” of a runway or taxiway, that doesn’t need a readback. Also from TC AIM RAC 4.25:<\/p>\n The following two acceptable exchanges illustrate the difference:<\/p>\n ATC:<\/strong> FLYO taxi charlie delta contact the tower holding short<\/strong> runway 26. However:<\/p>\n ATC:<\/strong> FLYO taxi charlie delta, hold short<\/strong> runway 26.

As a good operating practice, taxi authorizations that contain the instructions \u201chold\u201d or \u201chold short\u201d should be acknowledged by the pilot by providing a readback or repeating the hold point.<\/code>
\n<\/code><\/p>\nPilots may be instructed to monitor the tower frequency while taxiing or until a specific point, or they may be advised to \u201ccontact tower holding short.\u201d The term \u201cholding short,\u201d when used during the communications transfer, is considered as a location and does not require a readback.<\/code><\/p>\n
