CLR DEL

Clearance Delivery overview

CLR DEL is the scope for EKCH_DEL. Uncleared departures sit in airline bays; issuing a clearance automatically moves the strip to Cleared.

Cleared strips

SI from Cleared is disabled in standard CLR DEL; enabled when DEL+SEQ is active.

Automatic SI handoff from Cleared depends on staffing:

Two or fewer apron positions online → SI hands off to Apron Departure.
Three apron positions online → SI hands off to SEQ PLN.

When DEL+SEQ is active, strips stay with EKCH_DEL in Cleared; the SI indicator changes (white vs orange) and delivery coordinates the handoff to apron at startup time.

Click CLD to confirm the clearance and move the strip to Cleared.

Pre-departure clearance (PDC / datalink)

CLR DEL only needs to act when a PDC request raises a validation or contains manual remarks.

PDC invalid	Callsign blinks grey	OPEN DCL MENU in the validation dialog
Custom PDC	Normal strip; validation prompts manual handling	OPEN DCL MENU
Cleared via PDC	Strip in Cleared with navy callsign until pilot acknowledges	—

Use REVERT TO VOICE in the DCL window to abandon the datalink path.

See Pre-departure clearance and Validation status.
