Line up and take-off

4 viewsOct 1, 2026

From the holding point into the air takes three calls. You learn ready for departure, line up and wait, the conditional line-up and the take-off clearance, and why Tenerife made take-off a word for one clearance only.

What you learn

  • Have your departure information ready before you call
  • Say ready for departure only when you can go at once
  • Line up and wait without taking it as a take-off clearance
  • Read back a conditional line-up, condition first
  • Read back the take-off clearance with the runway
