In his defense, ATC was talking way to fast and almost swallowing his words.


ATC Hold short
HF copyu hold short
ATC Hold short
HF holding short
ATC Continue ....Holdshort

Sounds like HF was holding short and confirmed it

But he went on the Continue.... didn't allow the ATC to finish his sentence.
Didn't pay attention to the rest of the sentence and wasn't aware of prior landing clearance given...



Why is that ATC talking so fast, he almost swallows his words..
This is a single runway airport, how busy can it be that he has to talk so fast??
Why would you use "continue" to somebody who's holding short and you want to remain in place.


But HF also should have been more aware, and should have heard "traffic down the runway"...

There's part blame, but in light of his prior problems, like landing on taxiway.
HF to me sounds to easily confused to keep flying on his own.
