When should pilots state their position on the airport when calling the tower for takeoff?
A
When visibility is less than 1 mile.
B
When parallel runways are in use.
C
When departing from a runway intersection.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 4-3-10 says pilots should state their position on the airport when calling the tower for takeoff from a runway intersection, so the controller knows they are not at the runway end. Low visibility or parallel runways do not by themselves create that requirement.
