Radio, AFIS or nobody: who answers?

At an uncontrolled airfield someone may answer your call, or nobody. You learn what a Radio station and AFIS may and may not say, what at own discretion means, and why the decision stays with you.

• Explain why only ATC ever says cleared
• Read back the runway and QNH from a Radio station
• Decide for yourself when you hear at own discretion
• Find the runway and QNH when nobody is on the ground
