Operation of air traffic control service
ED Decision 2020/008/R
AERODROME CONTROL —
TAKE-OFF CLEARANCE
(a) The aerodrome control tower may issue a take-off clearance to an aircraft when there is reasonable assurance that the separation for departing aircraft as in AMC7 ATS.TR.210(c)(2)(i), or the separation prescribed in accordance with AMC9 ATS.TR.210(c)(2)(i) for reduced runway separation minima between aircraft using the same runway, will exist when the aircraft commences take-off.
(b) When an ATC clearance is required prior to take-off, the aerodrome control tower should not issue the take-off clearance until the ATC clearance has been transmitted to and acknowledged by the aircraft concerned. The ATC clearance should be forwarded to the aerodrome control tower with the least possible delay after receipt of a request made by the tower or prior to such request if practicable.
(c) Subject to point (b), the take-off clearance should be issued when the aircraft is ready for take-off and at or approaching the departure runway, and the traffic situation permits. To reduce the potential for misunderstanding, the take-off clearance should include the designator of the departure runway.
