1.5.4 When a clearance to cross a runway in use is issued, a report vacated instruction shall
be included. However, this instruction may be omitted when the controller has
continuous sight of the aircraft or vehicle crossing.
1.5.5 When passing taxi instructions that will position an aircraft to cross a runway the
controller may, optionally, insert the phrase ‘hold short of’ prior to the runway
designator. This phrase is intended to reinforce the need to stop at the holding point.
1.5.6 Where an ATIS broadcast is established the controller does not need to pass
departure information to the pilot when giving taxi instructions. He will, however,
check that the aircraft is in possession of the latest QNH.
1.6 Pre-Departure Manoeuvring
1.6.1 Meticulous care has been taken to ensure that the phraseology which is to be
employed during the pre-departure manoeuvres cannot be interpreted as a take-off
clearance. This is to avoid any misunderstanding in the granting or acknowledgement
of take-off clearances and the serious consequences that could result.
1.6.2 At busy aerodromes with a separate ground and tower function, aircraft are usually
transferred to the tower frequency at or approaching the holding point.
1.6.3 It may be necessary for the controller to instruct the pilot to hold at a specified holding
point. Where appropriate the controller should include the reason for the instruction.
