After you provide AIR to Approach, you should include what into your request?

• A. Approach request with landing intentions. If making a terminal delay, include Flight Plan Route
• B. Approach clearance only
• C. Flight plan route only
• D. Weather request only

Answer: (A)

When handing off to Approach, you must include your landing intentions. This communicates to approach control what you plan to do after the instrument approach, so they can assign the correct approach and runway and sequence you appropriately. If you anticipate a terminal delay, also including your current flight plan route helps controllers anticipate your routing and manage the flow without extra back-and-forth. Merely requesting the approach clearance without stating what you intend to land on or where you’ll route next leaves ambiguity for sequencing and separation. Providing only the flight plan route omits the immediate approach needs, and asking for weather alone doesn’t convey what you plan to do after the approach.
