Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A Cessna pilot was initially cleared to land on runway 20.
- The Tower then added a "land and hold short" instruction for intersection 31-13.
- The pilot's initial informal acknowledgment ("You bethca") prompted the Tower to request a formal confirmation, which the pilot then correctly provided.
