Chapter 16, Annex K AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES AND INSTRUCTIONS

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CLEARANCES AND INSTRUCTIONS

Whenever an ATC clearance is received and accepted by the pilot, compliance shall be made with the clearance. If a clearance is not acceptable, the pilot should immediately inform ATC of this fact as acknowledgement of the clearance alone will be taken by a controller as indicating acceptance. A clearance will be identified by the use of the word “clear” in its contents. Example of clearances are:

“You are cleared to the circuit”.

“You are cleared for take off on runway two niner”.

EXAMPLE OF AN ATC CLEARANCE

“Cleared for takeoff on runway zero four.”

Write down an example of an ATC Clearance:

A pilot shall comply with an ATC instruction that is directed to and received by the pilot, provided the safety of the aircraft is not jeopardized. An instruction will always be worded in such a manner as to be readily identified, although the word “instruct” will seldom be included. Pilots shall comply with and acknowledge receipt of all ATC instructions directed to and received by them. An example of an instruction would be:

“Hold on taxiway”.

“Climb to and maintain one three thousand”.

EXAMPLE OF AN ATC INSTRUCTION

“Hold short of taxiway.”
