GM1 ATS.TR.210(a)(3) Operation of air traffic control service ED Decision 2020/008/R AERODROME CONTROL — CLEARANCES IN THE TRAFFIC CIRCUIT (a)       The clearance to enter the traffic circuit should be issued to an aircraft whenever it is desired that the aircraft approach the landing area in accordance with current traffic circuits but traffic conditions do not yet allow a landing clearance to be issued. Depending on the circumstances and traffic conditions, an aircraft may be cleared to join at any position in the traffic circuit. (b)       When so instructed by the air traffic controller, pilots should obtain approval prior to turning on to any of the aerodrome traffic circuit legs. When extending an aerodrome traffic circuit leg, pilots should report to the air traffic control unit as soon as there is a risk that visual contact with the runway cannot be maintained. (c)       An arriving aircraft executing an instrument approach should normally be cleared to land straight in unless visual manoeuvring to the landing runway is required.
