Assignment #4 – Clearance Delivery Exercises
On the following pages are 12 flight plans. Practice your clearance delivery
phraseology by writing out how each one should be spoken. Also practice saying them
out loud. Your instructor will likely quiz you on one or more of these during your next
session. Note that some departures may be outdated. An example, based on Figure 2,
is at the end of this workbook.

Assignment #6 – Observe Air Traffic Control
Use VRC and login as an observer; monitor ZME controllers when online, especially
clearance delivery and ground. Also, use liveatc.net to monitor real life air traffic control,
and note similarities and differences to VATSIM. If traffic levels are light to nil, limit each
observation session to no more than one hour.
Note that Supervisors will occasionally query observers who are logged on for more
than an hour. If contacted by a supervisor, be polite and let them know you are a new
controller who is actively observing operations in your home ARTCC.
Assignment 4 Example Clearance (based on Figure 2)
“American thirteen forty is cleared to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport as filed, climb and
maintain five thousand, expect flight level three two zero one zero minutes after departure, departure
frequency is one two two point eight, squawk zero seven six seven.”
