3.22 Aerobatics and General Handling
The term "Block" can be used to describe a height band that an aircraft requires to
operate in. The aircraft will subsequently manoeuvre not below the lowest specified
level and not above the highest specified level. Normally, the levels will be specified
in terms of flight levels.
3.23 Passing the Number of Persons on Board (POB)
The pilot should pass the POB in accordance with local or national orders. If not
passed, controllers may need to request POB from the pilot.
3.24 Clearances with an Occupied Runway
Where approved, in order to maintain an expeditious flow of air traffic, there are
occasions where a controller may utilise clearances where the runway in use is still
occupied by another aircraft. Whilst the controller is providing these clearances based
on a professional assessment of the situation, it is incumbent on the pilot to make the
final decision to execute the clearance. These clearances can only be used for
preceeding aircraft that conducted an approach and are not to be used for vehicles or
aircraft crossing the active runway.
* The controller may include the aircraft type if it is considered necessary to aid clarity.
Local orders may dictate how much of the approach end of the runway must be
available before this clearance can be issued.
** The aircraft ahead must have commenced the acceleration stage of the Touch and
Go before this clearance is issued.
