An ATC clearance provides
A
priority over all other traffic.
B
adequate separation from all traffic.
C
authorization to proceed under specified traffic conditions in controlled airspace.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
An ATC clearance is defined (14 CFR 1.1, Pilot/Controller Glossary) as an authorization by air traffic control, for the purpose of preventing collision between known aircraft, for an aircraft to proceed under specified traffic conditions within controlled airspace. It does not give priority over other traffic, and it does not guarantee separation from all traffic, since VFR and unknown aircraft may be present.
