Final Approach and Landing

1.9.1 A ‘final’ report is made when an aircraft has turned onto final approach. If the turn on
is made at a distance greater than 4 nm from touchdown a ‘long final’ report is made.

The landing/touch and go/low approach clearance will include the runway designation

G-CD final G-CD runway 34 cleared to land
surface wind 270 7
Runway 34 cleared to land G-CD
Fastair 345 long final Fastair 345 report final surface wind
260 18

Wilco Fastair 345

Fastair 345 final

345

NOTE:

Where established, an ‘outer marker’ instead of a ‘final’ report may be made.
1.9.2 The runway may be obstructed when the aircraft makes its ‘final’ report at 4 nm or
less from touchdown but is expected to be available in good time for the aircraft to

make a safe landing. On these occasions, the controller will delay landing clearance.

A landing aircraft may be permitted to touch down before a preceding landing aircraft
which has landed and vacated the runway provided that:
a) the runway is long enough to allow safe separation between the two aircraft and
there is no evidence to indicate that braking may be adversely affected;
b) it is during daylight hours;
c) the preceding landing aircraft is not required to backtrack in order to vacate the
runway;
d) the controller is satisfied that the ladning aircraft will be able to see the preceding
aircraft which has landed, clearly and continuously, until it has vacated the runway;
and
e) the pilot of the following aircraft is warned. (Responsibility for ensuring adequate

separation rests with the pilot of the following aircraft.)
