You should state that they are at anintersection when requesting a takeoff clearance. A controllermust also state the name of the intersection when issuing atakeoff clearance.Controller: November 477ZA, <strong>Runway</strong> four, TaxiwayBravo, “line up and wait.”Pilot: “Line up and wait,” <strong>Runway</strong> four, TaxiwayBravo, November 477ZA.Ensure that when you read back a clearance for an intersection“line up and wait” or intersection takeoff, you state the nameof the intersection, even if the controller did not include itin the clearance.Landing ClearanceATC may withhold or rescind a landing clearance when anaircraft is in “line up and wait” on the runway.Landing Clearance WithheldController: November 477ZA, <strong>Runway</strong> four, continue,traffic holding in position.Landing Clearance CancelledController: November 477ZA, landing clearance cancelled,traffic holding in position, continue.Takeoff Clearance/Landing ClearanceRead back all landing and takeoff clearances with a call sign,including the runway designator.Controller: November 123QY, Charlotte tower, <strong>Runway</strong>four right, cleared to land.Pilot: November 123QY, cleared to land, <strong>Runway</strong> fourright.Controller: November 123QY, Charlotte tower, <strong>Runway</strong>five, cleared for takeoff.Pilot: November 123QY, cleared for takeoff, <strong>Runway</strong>five.Land and “Hold Short” ClearanceLand and “hold short” instructions require your acceptanceand read back.Controller: November 123QY, Waterloo Tower, <strong>Runway</strong>three six, cleared to land, hold short <strong>Runway</strong>three zero for departing traffic.Pilot: November 123QY, cleared to land <strong>Runway</strong> threesix, hold short <strong>Runway</strong> three zero.Figure 1-18A and B shows an example of the land and “holdshort” holding position.<strong>Runway</strong> Exiting ClearanceAfter landing and reaching taxi speed, you are expected toexit the runway at the first available taxiway or as instructedby ATC. You should remain on the tower frequency untiladvised to contact ground control.Controller: Unity three two, turn right on Taxiway Golf twoand contact ground point niner when clear of therunway.Pilot: Unity three two, right on Golf two, ground pointniner.Initial Contact After Landing and Clearing the<strong>Runway</strong>Pilot: Lincoln ground, November 123QY, clear of<strong>Runway</strong> two at Bravo, taxi to the ramp.Controller: November 123QY, Lincoln ground, taxi to theramp via Bravo.Light Gun SignalsATC has a backup system if radio communication fails.Controllers use a light gun that flashes different colors toinstruct you what to do. Refer to the Pilot’s Handbook ofAeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 13, Airport Operations, fora light gun signal illustration. Even a failed radio transmissionis not an excuse for proceeding without a proper clearance.If you are on a runway or taxiway and radio communicationwith ATC fails, you should:1. Turn toward the tower.2. Flash your landing lights several times.3. Wait for the light signal from ATC.4. Be patient. If ATC’s attention is diverted, it may takea few minutes for a response.5. If your radios are working, try a frequency other thanthe one you are currently using.6. Call ATC via cell phone if you have the numberavailable.1-12
