Q

What are the objectives of an IFR clearance?

RAC 3-17 2.1.4.2

A

Provide separation:
1. between the aircraft concerned and other controlled flights;
2. from SUA and GAA as required by RAC 5; and

A flight departing under radar control may be issued with initial track or level instructions which, while not providing separation for the entire route, will provide separation until it can be identified and instructed to climb under radar control.

Enable the flight to comply with the promulgated procedures for IFR flights published in the AIPNZ

Conform with the terms for acceptance of control by the next controlling authority;

Conform, where possible, with the details requested in the flight plan and the Air Traffic Management route requirements as specified in the AIPNZ;

Where the aircraft has flight planned for flight within controlled airspace, enable the aircraft to remain within controlled airspace, unless applying the criteria for direct routing on unevaluated routes.
