About this document
Understanding Conditional Clearances in Aviation by Jean Kvalaine is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A conditional clearance is an air traffic control clearance that takes effect only when specific conditions are met, such as following or being behind another aircraft. There are risks of misunderstanding and confusion, particularly when multiple similar aircraft are involved or if the subject aircraft is misidentified. To mitigate these risks, ICAO guidelines restrict the use of conditional phrases for active runway movements unless the relevant aircraft are visible to both the controller and pilot.
