This study investigates how degraded radio communication affects pilot communication accuracy and clarification behaviour during taxi operations. Using simulated taxi scenarios, it identifies key error types and individual differences influencing in-taxi communication. Findings highlight human factors risks contributing to runway incursions and inform communication training and system design improvements.
