Issue ATC clearances.

Issuance of ATC clearances could include, but not be limited to,

  • instrument flight rules (IFR) clearance
  • visual flight rules (VFR) clearance
  • takeoff/landing clearance
  • taxi clearance
  • land and hold short operations (LAHSO).

Note: Students should understand the concept that approach clearances are issued in a radar environment while landing/takeoff clearances are issued in a tower environment.
