===FAA adopts "line-up and wait"===
The US based aviation agency FAA adopted the ICAO standard for [[ATC]] clearances to enter the runway. The command "(taxi into) position and hold" is replaced with "line-up and wait" now - which was already used at most non-US airports. FlightGear pilots and controllers are requested to bring this change in practice.
Read the official announcements at the [http://www.faa.gov/airports/runway_safety/news/current_events/lauw/ FAA website].
