In flight planning, what is the approval called to fly the planned route?

• A. Concourse
• B. DeadHead
• C. Clearance
• D. Cruising Altitude

Answer: (C)

The approval to fly the planned route is ATC clearance. After a flight plan is filed, air traffic control reviews it and issues a clearance that grants the crew permission to fly the filed route at the specified altitude and with any routing or speed instructions. This clearance is what allows you to depart and proceed along the planned path, ensuring safe separation from other traffic and compliance with airspace restrictions. Without this authorization, the route cannot be flown. The other terms aren’t about authorization: a concourse is an airport terminal area, DeadHead refers to traveling as a passenger (or repositioning), and cruising altitude is simply one parameter that can be included in the clearance.
