From whom should a departing VFR aircraft request radar traffic information during ground operations?
A
Clearance delivery.
B
Tower, just before takeoff.
C
Ground control, on initial contact.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 4-1-18 says departing VFR aircraft should request radar traffic information by notifying ground control on initial contact, along with the proposed direction of flight. Waiting until just before takeoff with the tower is too late to set up the service, and clearance delivery is used for IFR clearances.
