Final Approach
This is the flow I recall from my last flight to KPDK:
Me (N2871R): Ground, N2871R at Epp's ready to taxi with Oscar.
Ground: N2871R, Peachtree Ground. Taxi to run-up for Runway 2. Advise front of the line.
The key here is I was instructed to go to the run-up area, not the runway. (See attachment to see where the run-ups are.) If I didn't need the run-up, I would have negotiated a clearance direct to the runway.
Exactly. If I was directed to just taxi to a runup area I'd naturally call ground control when my runup was complete because I had further taxiing to do and that's the purview of ground control.
