GM1 ATS.TR.230(a)(3)(ii) Transfer of responsibility for control ED Decision 2020/008/R COORDINATION OF STANDARD CLEARANCES FOR DEPARTING AIRCRAFT (a)       Wherever possible, the air traffic services providers concerned should establish standardised procedures for transfer of control between the air traffic control units concerned and standard clearances for departing aircraft. (b)       Where standard clearances for departing aircraft have been agreed to between the units concerned, the aerodrome control tower will normally issue the appropriate standard clearance without prior coordination with or approval from the approach control unit or ACC. (c)       Prior coordination of clearances should be required only in the event that a variation to the standard clearance or the standardised transfer of control procedures is necessary or desirable for operational reasons; for example, in the case of a change on the cleared initial flight level. (d)       Provision should be made to: (1)       ensure that the approach control unit at all times is kept informed of the sequence in which aircraft will depart as well as the runway to be used; and (2)       display the designators of assigned standard instrumental departures (SIDs) to the aerodrome control tower, the approach control unit and/or the ACC as applicable.
