CFI-to-CFI Newsletter - Volume 13 Issue 2 - 8
When ATC clears you for takeoff, they expect you
to keep going. If you intend to as an instructor,
or as a pilot for practice, abort that takeoff
for anything other than a real emergency, you
should request a takeoff option clearance.
Some ATC facilities are not as familiar with this
as others. But in high-density training locations,
this may be more familiar a request. Don't be
surprised if ATC asks, " What is it you want? " If
questioned, explain that you want to abort a
takeoff and then continue the takeoff.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR
OR WHAT ATC IS EXPECTING OF YOU IS CRITICAL
TO COMPLIANCE WITH CLEARANCES AND
MAINTAINING SAFETY
It is important that ATC knows that this is
what you want to do because it will take extra
time on the runway compared with a standard
takeoff clearance. If you are a CFI planning
on failing that engine on your multiengine
student during the takeoff, this is the
clearance you need to request.
CLEARED TO LAND-HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY XX
More commonly used at larger airports, the
clearance for a landing that requires holding
short of a runway is less frequently used in the
training environment but possible and should be
taught to students.
A key factor of this is that it doesn't need to be
accepted by a pilot if issued by ATC. Designed to
offer ATC the ability to clear aircraft to operate
(or approach) crossing runways, a cleared to
land, hold short of runway XX is issued when
there is sufficient distance for an aircraft to
land and not cross a runway on which another
aircraft may be approaching or landing. This
is a clearance to land. Not a clearance to touch
and go, stop and go, or anything else. If you
accept this, ATC expects you to stop short of
the crossing runway assigned. If you can't do
that, don't accept this clearance.
Each of these clearances requested by a CFI
or pilot, or assigned by ATC, has specific
expectations associated. Doing something else
might represent a break of a clearance and
certainly can result in a degradation of safety
if the expectation of one action is not what
actually occurs.
Be clear with what you want, and if in doubt of
what ATC has issued, ask for clarification. All
of these have specific utility to an instructor (or
a designated pilot examiner when conducting
a practical test) and can be used in the training
process to enhance safety or expedite some
training objectives. Understanding what you
are asking for or what ATC is expecting of you
is critical to compliance with clearances and
maintaining safety. Know what you want, know
what ATC expects of you, and when in doubt, go
around if needed.
