In addition to those mentioned here, you may find it useful to read the appendix

to the SERA Regulation (https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/regulations/standardised-european-
rules-air-sera (Page 127 is where it starts) where the use of phrases is given in examples.

4.8.1.1 Disregard / Ignore and cancel

It is important that you know the difference between cancel and disregard.

- Cancel: If an instruction or permission has been given, you cannot

disregard it until it has been canceled.

- Disregard / Ignore: If it is a message or information, you may be asked to

ignore it.

4.8.1.2 Correction and repetition

It is important that you know the difference and use the correct phrase.

- Errors in a transmission must be corrected by saying “CORRECTION”,

after which the last correct group or expression is repeated, and the
transmission is continued.

- If a correction can best be made by repeating the entire message, say

“CORRECTION I SAY AGAIN”, after which the message is sent from the

beginning.
