ATC: ‘Fastair 54, runway 26, cleared for take-off’. What is the response from the pilot?

  • A

    Cleared for take-off, Fastair 54

  • B

    Runway 26 cleared for take-off, Fastair 54

  • C

    Wilco, Fastair 54

  • D

    Runway 26, cleared for take-off

Refer to figure.
With all these read back questions, a good approach for both the flight deck and the exam room is to:

  • Read back the required information in exactly the same order that it was given
  • Put your call sign at the end

Looking at the answer options:

Cleared for take-off, Fastair 54 --> INCORRECT. Missing the runway designator.

Runway 26, cleared for take-off, Fastair 54 --> CORRECT. You must always read back the runway designator.

Wilco, Fastair 54 --> INCORRECT. Incorrect read back for the clearance to take-off and also missing the runway designator.

Runway 26, cleared for take-off --> INCORRECT. Missing the aircraft's callsign.
