“Hillsboro ground / N1234 / at HAI / request taxi to runway 31 run up area
, west bound departure, information X”
“n1234 / Hillsboro ground / taxi to the 31 run up area at your discretion”
“taxi to 31 run up / n1234”
(engine run up)
once you are established with ATC
You no longer have to say the name you are talking to
(such as, hillsboro ground, hillsboro tower)
“n1234 / at 31 run up / request taxi to active RWY”
“n1234 / Hillsboro ground / taxi to RWY 31 via A8”
“TAXI to RWY 31 via A8 / n1234”

If active runway is 20...then the ground would say like this

“n1234 / taxi to RWY 20 via A8 A B cross RWY31”
“taxi to RWY 20 via A8 A B cross RWY31 n1243”
But sometime they could give you hold short instructions such as below
“n1234 / Hillsboro ground / taxi to RWY 20 via A8 A B hold short RWY31”
“taxi to RWY 20 via A8 A B hold short RWY31 n1243”
Hold shrot means...stop there until further clearance
(at A8, FRQ change to TWR #119.30)
We must Read back runway number and intersection
“Hillsboro TWR / n1234 / 31 at A8 / ready for takeoff /
“n1234 / Hillsboro TWR / cleared for takeoff 31 at A8/
(immediate takeoff, no delay, line up and wait and hold or hold short)”

“cleared for takeoff / west bound departure approved(immediate takeoff,

no delay, line up and wait or hold short)” / n1243”

Before you talk, listen first for about 5seconds so that you not gonna block
other pilot’s transmission.
Read back all hold instruction
Write it down all taxi instructions
If you in doubt, don’t be shy and ask ‘ say again please’
If you don’t understand ATC instructions say ‘ I don’t understand’
Then they will give you other instruction
Never pretend to understand ATC Instruction.
