Ground and tower have different reasons to wanting to know where you're going. Ground wants to know which runway to send you to (especially if your request is for closed traffic). The tower wants to know which way you're going to turn after departure, so he can plan his traffic flow and perhaps give you departure instructions. Exactly. I'm not too sure why they don't coordinate better, but it's no big deal to tell both of them. -- Alan Gerber gerber AT panix DOT com |

Rather than say "tower, cessna 1243 ready for take off runway X", I say
"tower, cessna 1234 ready for release runway X". I was cleared for take off in Santa Barbara in front of a 737 on 1/2 final once because the tower assumed I had been assigned to the VFR/GA runway. I've also taken off, and then quickly been asked to maintain VFR because the controller forget to secure my release. -Robert |

It's not necessary at a class C or B tower, those facilities are the IFR
facility for releasing departures. It is a nice thing to do at class d towers as they have to get a release from the IFR facility. I would believe that myself if I hadn't had several cases where the tower controller forgot and didn't secure my IFR release from class C airports. -Robert |

The tower controller has automatic releases at class C airports. |

The tower controller forgot to secure your release from himself? Actually, thinking about it more, getting cleared to take off with a 737 coming over the fence was at class C. I think the forgotten release may have been at a class D. |
