That's right. that's what a clearance is! If controllers had to be able to see the runway most airports would be closed in the fog. I know for a fact that here in Sacramento controllers do not need to see the runway. In fact they'll often say "runway not in sight cleared to land". They assume the runway is clear based on who is allowed to be on it. Actually, I responded ambiguously. I meant that a landing clearance is just that, the runway is known to be clear. They don't have to see it to know that. There are procedures in place in low vis to ensure that. If you get a landing clearance at a controlled field, you can be reasonably sure that the runway is clear. Bertie |
