In communications with pilots, identify a VFR waypoint by its full name, not by its identifier.
> Published VFR waypoints allow greater ease in locating reporting points with GNSS and other Area Navigation receivers. Waypoints are depicted in latitude and longitude, and use unique five-letter identifiers beginning with the letters 'VC".
Name the 6 legs of the circuit:
- Departure path
- Crosswind leg
- Upwind leg
- Downwind leg
- Base leg
- Final approach
You may permit an arrival behind a departure provided, before the arriving aircraft crosses the landing threshold, the departing aircraft is airborne and meets one of the following conditions:
- It is at a sufficient distance from the threshold that the arriving aircraft will not overtake it during the landing roll, or conflict with it in the event of a missed approach.
- It has turned to avoid any conflict with the arriving aircraft in the event of a missed approach.
Without waiting for a request from the pilot, issue a landing clearance when you are sure that the required runway separation will exist and either of the following conditions applies:
Without waiting for a request from the pilot, issue a landing clearance when you are sure that the required runway separation will exist and either of the following conditions applies:
- You are satisfied that the aircraft is on approach to the correct runway.
- The aircraft is doing an overhead break, and has not yet turned final.

If it appears that an obstruction on or near the runway may cause a risk and there is time for the situation to resolve prior to the landing aircraft crossing the threshold, instruct the pilot to continue approach but be prepared for a possible pullup.
"CONTINUE APPROACH, POSSIBLE PULLUP."
Name 7 reasons why a controller scans SiT.
A controller scans SiT to:
- Correlate what is observed on the radar with the known position of the aircraft.
- Observe unknown aircraft and uncorrelated targets.
- Use data tag information, such as aircraft ID, speed, and altitude.
- Detect potential conflicts.
- Observe inbound aircraft and prepare FDEs.
- Anticipate increases in traffic.
- Observe weather phenomena and pass on weather information, as needed.
1) The FDE and linked/correlated target already exists - will be displayed in the AB ARR panel.
2) Aircraft is tagged, but there is no FDE - Single click on the SiT Legacy Tag to send the FDE to the inbox.
3) Aircraft is untagged and no FDE - create a new FDE using F8 or the NEW ARR button.

At controlled airports, a pilot must obtain landing clearance prior to landing. Normally, the airport controller will initiate the landing clearance without having first received the request from the aircraft; however, should this not occur, the onus remains upon the pilot to request such clearance in sufficient time to accommodate the operating characteristics of the aircraft being flown. NORDO and RONLY aircraft should be considered as intending to land when they join and conform to the traffic circuit. Landing clearance will normally be given when an aircraft is on final approach. If landing clearance is not received, the pilot should, except in case of emergency, pull up and make another circuit.

o Runway conditions
o Other factors that may have an impact on the operation, for example, the crossing point, the weather or visibility, night operations, and the requested crossing activity (e.g. towing, runway check)
o If the activity warrants the landing aircraft's attention, advise the incoming pilot of the location and type of crossing traffic.

TC AIM RAC 4.4.4 - Taxiing (Excerpt) - Complete the reference:
A pilot must obtain an __________ to taxi on the manoeuvring area at a controlled airport. Unless otherwise instructed by the airport controller, aircraft are expected to _________________, exit the runway without delay and obtain ______________. No aircraft shall exit a runway onto ___________ unless instructed or _________________. When required, ___ will provide the pilot with instructions for leaving the runway. These instruction will normally be given to the pilot ______________ or __________. When an aircraft is instructed to exit onto another runway, the pilot must:
(a) _________; and
(b) _________________.
After landing on a dead-end runway, the pilot will normally be given ___________. In all cases, after leaving the runway, unless otherwise instructed by ___, pilots should continue to _________________ or to a point __________________ where a taxi holding position line is not available. The aircraft is not considered clear of the runway until ___________________ or the _________.
A pilot must obtain an ATC authorization to taxi on the manoeuvring area at a controlled airport. Unless otherwise instructed by the airport controller, aircraft are expected to continue in the landing direction to the nearest suitable taxiway, exit the runway without delay and obtain further authorization to taxi. No aircraft shall exit a runway onto another runway unless instructed or authorized to do so by ATC. When required, ATC will provide the pilot with instructions for leaving the runway. These instruction will normally be given to the pilot prior to landing or during the landing roll. When an aircraft is instructed to exit onto another runway, the pilot must:
(a) obtain further authorization to taxi; and
(b) remain on tower frequency until clear of that runway or until communication is transferred to ground control.
After landing on a dead-end runway, the pilot will normally be given instructions to backtrack. In all cases, after leaving the runway, unless otherwise instructed by ATC, pilots should continue to taxi forward across the taxi holding position lines or to a point at least 200 ft from the edge of the runway where a taxi holding position line is not available. The aircraft is not considered clear of the runway until all parts of the aircraft are past the taxi holding position line or the 200 ft point.
