Wonder where does it come that:
“Cleared for the visual, report three mile left base for Runway 31,” becomes “Cleared to land, 31”
or
“Line up and wait” was interpreted as “Cleared for takeoff”
Maybe I fly too little as a private pilot but I can't imagine those interpretations happening. |

Our brains are lazy and put stuff on autopilot when it can, so stuff that we experience very often and regularly gets truncated and simplified and shuffled off to be auto'd away so our brain can do better things.
For an IT example, it's common knowledge that dialog boxes and windows are almost always instantaneously closed by hitting the OK button. It doesn't matter what it's saying, it's just second nature to just OK it away because that's what we do with them. Even as we try to read it our hand is already clicking the OK button.
And so "Cleared for the visual, report three mile left base for Runway 31" becomes "Cleared, Runway 31" in our minds and we end up with incidents.
