Now let us analyze our clearance:

"KATT 450 - Aircraft identifier NAS Pensacola, Clearance limit (always a position, place

or fix) via direct TRADR direct GPT, then as filed, Route of flight portion approved via

TRADR, then GPT, then exactly as filed on DD 175. Climb and maintain 3000, Initial

climb altitude; expect FL230 ten minutes after, Altitude you can expect to receive 10

minutes after takeoff. Squawk 2000, Transponder code. Departure frequency 270.8,

Departure control frequency."

Aircrew should review the clearance to ensure the aircraft can comply with the clearance. If

unable to comply, notify the controlling agency and request an amended clearance. Immediately

after clearance has completed reading off your clearance, initiate your readback. It is not

unusual for clearance to change some points of the filed flight plan. A change from your filed

flight plan will be notified as follows:

"KATT 813 is cleared to Tuscaloosa except change route to read: direct TRADR,

BROOKLEY, ENSLY then as filed. Climb and maintain 4000, expect 8000 ten minutes

after departure. Squawk 4312. Departure frequency 270.8."

NOTE

"...Then as filed" means from that point, your clearance is exactly

as you filed in your flight plan.

The majority of the remaining ground and departure communications are very similar to that

previously stated under VFR procedures. Deviations due to operations out of the local area are

illustrated in the paragraphs below.
