Front 1

Prefix a clearance, information, or a request for information which will be relayed to an aircraft through a non-ATC facility by stating:

Back 1

• "ATC clears" (Clearance)
• "ATC advises" (Information) ex weather information, delays at destination, etc
• "ATC requests" (Request)

Front 2

FSS must prefix a clearance with the appropriate phrase:

Back 2

• "ATC clears"
• "ATC advises"
• "ATC requests"

Front 3

Relay clearances ___.

Back 3

verbatim

Front 4

A Class E airspace are established in the form of a corridor, the centerline of which is defined by radio navigational aids; e.g. v278.

Back 4

airway

Front 5

A geographical position determined by a fix (up to 5 characters), an azimuth from the fix (3 digits in degrees magnetic), and a distance from the fix in nautical miles (3 digits).

Back 5

fix radial distance (FRD)

Front 6

A defined path consisting of one or more courses in a horizontal plane, which aircraft traverse over the surface of the earth.

Back 6

route

Front 7

A route designed to serve aircraft operations from 18,000 feet MSL up to and including flight level 450. The routes are referred to as "J" routes with numbering to identify the designated route; e.g. J35.

Back 7

jet route

Front 8

An Area Navigation (RNAV) route published for use in the US.

Back 8

Q route

Front 9

A heading issued to an aircraft to provide navigational guidance by radar.

Back 9

vector

Front 10

A specific arrival route from an appropriate en route point to an airport or terminal area. It may be included in a Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR) or a Preferred IFR Route.

Back 10

Preferential Arrival Route (PAR)

Front 11

A pre-planned IFR air traffic control arrival procedure published for pilot use in graphic and/or textual form. Provide transition from the en route structure to an outer fix or an instrument approach fix/arrival waypoint in the terminal area.

Back 11

Standard Terminal Arrival (STAR)

Front 12

A preplanned IFR ATC departure procedure printed for pilot/controller use in graphic form to provide obstacle clearance and a transition from the terminal area to the appropriate en route structure. Primarily designed for system enhancement to expedite traffic flow and to reduce pilot/controller workload.

Back 12

Standard Instrument Departure

Front 13

___ must always be received prior to flying a SID.

Back 13

ATC clearance

Front 14

Clear aircraft via routes consistent with the altitude stratum in which the operation is to be conducted by one or more of the following:

Back 14

• Designated airways and routes
• Radials, courses, azimuths, or direct to or from NAVAIDs
• Radials, courses, azimuths, and headings of departure or arrival routes
• Standard Instrument Departures (SIDs)/Standard Terminal Arrivals (STARs)/Flight Management System Procedures (FMSPs)
• Degree-distance fixes for special military operations
• Courses, azimuths, bearings, quadrants, or radials within a radius of a NAVAID
• Fixes/waypoints defined in terms of published names, degree-distance from NAVAIDs, latitude/longitude coordinates

Front 15

To transition within or between route structures, clear an aircraft by one or more of the following methods, based on VOR, VORTAC, TACAN, or MLS NAVAIDS:

Back 15

• Vector aircraft to or from radials, courses, azimuths of the airway or route assigned
  
• Assign a SID or STAR
• Clear departing or arriving aircraft to climb or descend via radials, courses, or azimuths of the airway or route assigned
• Clear departing or arriving aircraft directly to or between NAVAIDs forming the airway or route assigned
• Clear aircraft to climb or descend via the airway or route on which flight will be conducted or specified radials, courses, or azimuths of NAVAIDs

Front 16

Amend route of flight in a previously issued clearance by one of the following methods:

Back 16

• State which portion of the route is being amended and then state the amendment "CHANGE (portion of route) TO READ (new portion of route)."
• State amendment to the route and then state the rest of the route is unchanged "(Amendment to route), REST OF ROUTE UNCHANGED."
• Issue a clearance "direct" to a point on the previously issued route "CLEARED DIRECT (fix)."
• Issue the entire route by stating the amendment.

Front 17

When route or altitude in a previously issued clearance is amended, ___.

Back 17

restate all applicable altitude restrictions
