ROZWINIĘCIE JĘZYKOWE:
- We’re going to depart from runway 25L.
We now get the clearance (zezwolenie na odbycie lotu do lądowiska docelowego) from the delivery controller. The process is as follows.
We get the Delivery frequency from the Airport information chart or the ATC Services (in this case, the frequency is 121.800 MHz) and tune COM1 to it.
We contact the controller and ask for the clearance. (It is the pilot who needs to initiate contact (nawiązać kontakt) with ATC, not the opposite). Tip: note down the clearance on a piece of paper as it’s difficult (and risky) to memorize it.
The Delivery controller gives us the clearance including:
- our callsign;
- whether we’ve got the latest (“current”) ATIS information or not;
- our destination airport;
- the departure SID/waypoints;
- the route we’ll need to follow (if it is not mentioned, we’ll follow the route we wrote in our flight plan);
- the initial and cruising altitude (pułap przelotu);
- the squawk (transponder) code we’ll need to set.
We read back (repeat) the clearance to confirm (potwierdzić) we understood it correctly.
The controller corrects any mistakes we’ve made and then hands us off to the Ground controller.
