Clearance¶
On first contact with the controller that will issue your clearance, give the following information:
- Your parking bay
- Your aircraft type
- The ATIS information letter
Warning
Radio Checks on first contact are discouraged when building communication with the controller. It's best to greet or ask the controller, should you need any help before clearance issuance.
Be straightforward and concise as possible when communicating within a controlled frequency.
Once you have requested for clearance, the controller will either tell you to standby, or give your clearance on the spot. Clearances include your routing, flight level restrictions, departure instructions and your squawk.
You must read back the clearance in full. Listen carefully to all details that the controller gives you, and if you are unsure about your clearance, let the controller know.

Departure¶
The departure procedure is decided by an online Approach (APP) or En-route Controller (CTR). When both are offline, Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs) are given by the aerodrome controller (TWR). When either APP or CTR is online, they decide if departures will be given radar vectors to the TMA exit points or will be following a SID.
When APP or CTR is online, after passing 1500 feet or outside the ATZ, report your passing altitude to APP or CTR. This is to help them identify you successfully in their radar screens.
