4.7 FINAL APPROACH AND LANDING

4.7.1 A “FINAL” report is made when an aircraft turns onto final within 7 km (4 NM) from touchdown. If and when the turn onto final is made at a greater distance, a “LONG FINAL” report is made. If the aircraft is making a straight-in approach, a “LONG FINAL” report is made at about 15 km (8 NM) from touchdown. If no landing clearance is received at that time, a “FINAL” report is made at 7 km (4 NM) from touchdown.
