IFR to KXXX Clearance on Request?
Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2020 3:31 pm
I have been taught and used "IFR to KXXX, Clearance on Request" for the past 30+ years since pilot training, heard most if not all of the other pilots I've flown with use this phrase, and even found an AOPA article saying 3 times to do use "Clearance on Request", but no reference to back it using it.
One of the PilotEdge ATC controllers corrected me saying to drop the "Clearance on Request".
I've scoured all through the AIM, IFR handbooks and AC's with no luck of a clear reference saying to only say "IFR to KXXX". Can anyone help with a reference. I'm eager to do it properly if anything has changed, but want to have a reference if I correct students.
Thank you,
