So leaving an uncontrolled airport this morning we get clearence on taxi out. ATC asks when we'll be ready and we say 5 min and says hold for release. He comes back to us and tells us we are released 23-26 void after that. So at 23 we take the runway and depart. Contacting ATC he informs us that we did not get released from the airport. I stated that I thought he released us between 23-26, and he said that was just a window.
I'm thinking he had it wrong, because he said "released between". We were able to reach him via radio, but what if we couldn't and all I could use was a phone in an FBO or something. Then we would go at the "window" that they gave us right?
Am I wrong?
