CHAPTER FOUR

2. Normally, an ATC IFR clearance is relayed to an aircrew by

Clearance Delivery. If the airport does not have a Clearance

Delivery, aircrews must contact Ground Control to place their

clearance on request. No surveillance or control over the

movement of traffic is exercised by Clearance Delivery. Clearance

Delivery instructions DO NOT SUPERCEDE altitude restrictions

on the departure. Only ATC can override departure (DP)

procedures.

Complete Before-Taxi Checklist. Once complete, report, "Before-Taxi Checklist

complete."

Begin taxi and obtain taxi clearance.

NOTES

At NAS Pensacola, you will commence taxiing BEFORE you

obtain a clearance to do so. This is a LOCAL procedure only. At

most other controlled airports, you MUST obtain clearance to taxi

before the airplane begins to move. At an unfamiliar field, you

may also request a "PROGRESSIVE" taxi from Ground Control if

unsure how to taxi to the active runway.

Reference individual squadron SOP's for instructions on

when to call Squadron Base and when to give the Taxi Brief.

3. Brief the Instructor Pilot (IP) on the taxi plan to the duty runway. Keep the airport diagram

readily available and provide the IP with progressive taxi instructions while proceeding to the

runway hold short.

4. Once clear of the ramp area, call for the Taxi Checklist. Once complete, report, "Taxi

Checklist complete."

Accomplish the Instrument Checklist.

Prior to takeoff, ensure the radios and NAVAIDs are set and the VOR or GPS is set to

the correct NAVAID.
