ATC Clearance Compliance - No Pilot may deviate from an ATC Clearance unless a/an ………………………… has been obtained.
amended clearance
provides separation between known IFR traffic. VFR may be operating in the same airspace without ATC knowledge
an ATC clearance
An authorization by ATC for known air traffic to proceed under specific traffic conditions within controlled airspace
ATC clearance
No person may operate an aircraft in controlled airspace under IFR unless that person has-
(a) Filed an IFR flight plan

For Short Range Clearance Limit: EFC Time is not normally provided, unless a ____________ is provided.
holding clearance
_______________ provides continuous broadcast of recorded info, high activity terminal areas, used to relieve frequency congestion, updates upon receipt of new weather
ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service)
_______________ directs the movement of aircraft on the airport surface
Ground control
____________ relays ATC clearances when no Clearance Delivery exists
Ground control
__________ provides terminal information

ground control
___________ provides:

-pilot read back of any “hold short” instructions is req
ground control
clearance to taxi to runway means________
taxi to and hold short, do not taxi onto runway
Who do you contact for a clearance if Clearance delivery is not available?
ground control
A terminal facility which provides ATC services to aircraft operating in the vicinity of an airport. Authorizes aircraft to take off and land at the airport.
Control Tower
Clearance for arriving and departing aircraft:
