What does it mean "local' before the flight number,i heard ATC calling 'American local 381 heavy..............'or "local 500"
thanks a lot.
 
You were probably listening to DFW ground, right? They use that call sign when they're repositioning aircraft from the maintenance facilities to the terminal or vice versa. "local" = not taking off, just repositioning.
 
Tnx Chris ,yap that was DFW ground ,i also heard the words SANCTUARY and EPSYLON are this taxiways?
