Selected
cleared to holding point 33 ready for departure
This would be more or less what control tower<->pilot converstions might say:
CT: Tango Romeo cleared to holding point (runway) 33
Pilot: Roger, Tango Romeo cleared to holding point (runway) 33 ready for departure
The control tower then has one of two options:
Either:
CT: X, hold your position
Or
CT: X, clear line up (holding point (runway) 33) - [this would be superfluous]
So I think what you are looking for is "ready for departure". 'Take off' is no longer used because there were issues with pilots not understanding the difference between being 'ready for departure' and 'taking off'. I don't see how it could be landing because he's taxying _to_ the runway.
Hope that is of some help.

oops, that was \'control tower -> pilot...\'

The pilot may or may not repeat the control tower\'s \'cleared to line up\', depending on whereabouts the aircraft has stopped on the runway. In provincial airports you are more likely to have a simple Pilot: ready for departure
CT: roger, [call sign], cleared line up and take off runway X (and surface wind)
The pilot always repeats the CT\'s words when he moves onto an active runway.
So David could be right about the line-up - it all depends on the situtation.

Comment: "Thanks for all that - most helpful!
Yes, it's an ongoing joke with this client (Dassault Aviation). But my wife has it worse; she's an air hostess (not, she will hasten to add, a 'Flight' attendant!)
Take care"
