After you have read back your departure clearance, ATC confirm 'Readback correct'. Which of the following best describes the situation now?

  • A

    You still require a take-off clearance

  • B

    You may now proceed past the hold, but are not permitted to take-off

  • C

    You are now cleared to take-off

  • D

    You may now proceed to line up ready for take-off

A departure clearance is a set of instructions issued by air traffic control (ATC) to a pilot, outlining the specific route and conditions for an aircraft's departure from an airport. It specifies the route, altitude, and other instructions necessary for the aircraft to safely navigate after take-off. This clearance is essential for ensuring safe and orderly movement of aircraft in the airspace, particularly in busy environments.

When ATC confirm that you have read the departure clearance back correctly, you still need permission to move the aircraft, such as:

  • taxi
  • line up
  • take-off
