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 pilot requested and received approval from Buchanan Tower to transit their airspace.
- The tower issued a standard instruction to "Report clear" (meaning, report when clear of the airspace).
- The pilot humorously misinterpreted the instruction, asking "where is Clear?" as if "Clear" were a location or person.
