3.6 Landing Gear Position
Pilots of aircraft with retractable landing gear shall report the gear position as part of

3.7 Arrestor System Procedures and Phraseology
All landing and take-off clearances are to include advice on the status of the arresting
system. The status can be as follows:
Cables:
UP - the cable is raised on rubber rings often referred to as grommets or doughnuts,
or on automated raising systems. In this position the cable is ready for engagement.
DOWN - the cable is lowered and normally lying flat on the runway or in a slight
recess. The cable cannot be engaged in this position.
DERIGGED - the cable has been physically removed from the runway and will take an
extended period of time before it could be ready for an engagement.
'Approach Cable' refers to an arrestor cable in the first half of the runway, normally a
short distance beyond the threshold in the direction of landing.
'Centre Cable' refers to an arrestor cable that is positioned approximately at the
mid-point of the runway.
'Overrun Cable' refers to an arrestor cable that is in the latter half of the runway in the
direction of landing, normally prior to the upwind threshold.
