NOTE 1: Military phraseology for a gear check appears in Chapter 10 paragraph 3.6.
NOTE 2: Where established, an ‘outer marker’ instead of a 'final' report may be
made.
1.9.2 Where a controller cancels a landing clearance but feels that a landing clearance will
be re-issued in good time for the aircraft to make a safe landing, he should, if time
permits, give the reason for cancelling the landing clearance.
1.9.3 If available, the instantaneous surface wind should be provided to the pilot on request.
1.9.4 The runway may be obstructed when the aircraft makes its ‘final’ report at 4 NM or
less from touchdown but is expected to be available in good time for the aircraft to
make a safe landing. On these occasions, the controller will delay landing clearance.
The controller may or may not explain why the landing clearance has been delayed
but the instruction to ‘continue’ IS NOT an invitation to land and the pilot must wait
for landing clearance or initiate a missed approach (see Chapter 4, paragraph 1.10.3).
1.9.5 A landing aircraft may be permitted to touch down before a preceding landing aircraft
has vacated the runway provided that:
a) the runway is long enough to allow safe separation between the two aircraft and
there is no evidence to indicate that braking may be adversely affected;
b) it is during daylight hours;
c) the preceding landing aircraft is not required to backtrack in order to vacate the
runway;
d) the controller is satisfied that the landing aircraft will be able to see the preceding
aircraft which has landed, clearly and continuously, until it has vacated the runway;
and
e) the pilot of the following aircraft is warned. (Responsibility for ensuring adequate
separation rests with the pilot of the following aircraft.)
Military phraseology for clearances with an occupied runway is shown in Chapter 10
paragraph 3.24.
1.9.6 A pilot may request to fly past the control tower or other observation point for the
purpose of visual inspection from the ground.
