For everyone who is being so quick to pile onto Harrison Ford for being either too senile and/or incompetent to fly you should really read Roger’s very in depth description above. Also please listen to the realtime recordings as well. They’re on several sites to include YouTube. You’ll then see it’s not as cut and dry as you think. In addition to the fact that the controller hit his mic button AFTER beginning to talk so that the instruction was muddled, he had already instructed him to hold short of the runway, which Ford had done. In a normal situation the next instruction Ford should have heard was permission to cross. There was no reason for ATC to instruct to continue to hold. That’s not SOP. So when you put that together with a quick and slightly garbled msg, I’m sure Ford did indeed believe he heard “Continue across” instead of “Continue to hold”. IMHO ATC doesn’t have a leg to stand on in this situation.
