You are on the approach land on runway 02 at an aerodrome with a Flight Information Service (AFIS). You call 'final', but the runway is occupied with a departing aircraft. Which of the following messages would be passed to you?

  • A

    G-CH continue approach

  • B

    G-CH runway occupied, go around

  • C

    G-CH, roger

  • D

    G-CH runway occupied, departing traffic

A Flight Information Service (FIS) provides essential flight information to pilots, primarily outside of controlled airspace, to aid in safe and efficient flight operations. This service includes information on traffic, weather, and airport conditions, but does not involve direct air traffic control.

Looking at the answer options:

G-CH continue approach --> INCORRECT. A FIS does not give instructions / have control over aircraft and so can NOT give a 'continue approach' call.

G-CH runway occupied, go around --> INCORRECT. A FIS does not give instructions / have control over aircraft and so can NOT give a 'go around' call.

G-CH, roger --> INCORRECT. The FIS will give information that is essential for safety and so WILL inform the pilot of the runway being occupied.

G-CH runway occupied, departing traffic --> CORRECT.
