Execution Of Emergency Procedures

CHAPTER THREE

RADIO INSTRUMENTS

The paragraphs that quote the Federal Aviation Regulations concerning "LEAVING

CLEARANCE LIMIT" are sometimes misunderstood.

In the paragraph entitled "5-11 CLEARANCE LIMIT" FLIP General Planning explains that

"Initial clearances will include whenever practicable, the destination airport as the clearance

limit." It is extremely rare that this is NOT the case. If the destination clearance limit is not

changed by assignment of a new enroute clearance limit (which must be accompanied by

instructions for holding, EFC, etc.), the provisions of the "LEAVING CLEARANCE LIMIT"

paragraph do not apply, and in case of Two-Way Radio failure, an aircraft would be expected to

execute its clearance to its clearance limit (destination). If ATC assigns a clearance limit short of

the filed destination, the procedures in the "LEAVING CLEARANCE LIMIT" paragraph would

apply.
