What does it mean if you call 'final' to land and receive the response 'Golf Lima Golf, continue approach, surface wind 135 at 12 knots'?

  • A

    You may continue the approach, and land at your discretion

  • B

    You may continue the approach and land

  • C

    You may continue the approach but you do not have clearance to land

  • D

    You may continue the approach and prepare to land, the clearance will be passed shortly

Refer to figure.
Final: upto 4 NM from touchdown

Long Final: between 8 and 4 NM from touchdown

On final or long final you can expect a "continue approach" call from ATC as the runway may still be occupied by another aircraft either departing, landing or crossing.

The radio call "continue approach" is NOT a clearance to land, but just to continue with the approach for now.
