Overheard in the vicinity of Buchanan tower in Concord, Calif.:
Cessna: “Buchanan tower, this is Cessna One Two Three, seven south of Buchanan, 2000 feet, request transit, northbound.”
Tower: “Cessna One Two Three, transition approved. Report clear.”
Half minute pause, and then: “Tower, this is Cessna One Two Three; where is Clear?”
Short Final
Key Takeaways:
- A Cessna pilot requests permission from air traffic control to transit through controlled airspace.
- The tower approves the request and instructs the pilot to "Report clear."
- The pilot comically misunderstands the instruction, asking "where is Clear?" implying they thought "Clear" was a location.
