Conditional Clearances

Conditional clearances are given by ATC in the following format:

1.Call Sign

2.The Condition

3.The Clearance

4.The Condition

When the clearance involves an active runway, both the controller and the pilot must have seen the aircraft or vehicle concerned.

Example of a conditional clearance:

“Oxford 95 behind the landing Airbus line up and wait behind”

The readback of a conditional clearance must follow the same pattern with the aircraft call sign at the end.

“Behind the landing Airbus line up and wait behind, Oxford 95”
