He erred. The proper phraseology is "not in sight, runway 22L cleared to
land." "Own risk" is used when a pilot insists on landing on a closed
runway, "unable to issue landing clearance, landing will be at your own
risk."


That's what I thought but he said it 6 times. Must be training week
in Sacramento.


A qualified instructor is supposed to correct those things on the spot.
