What information is typically included when issuing a landing clearance in a pattern?

• A. Wind direction and gusts.
• B. Altitude assignments.
• C. Lighted runway sequence numbers.
• D. Runway identifier, instruction to land, and any pertinent runway or speed restrictions.

Answer: (D)

When issuing a landing clearance in the pattern, the controller includes the runway to use, the explicit authorization to land, and any relevant restrictions on that landing. The runway identifier tells you which strip is active, the instruction to land confirms you’re cleared to complete the approach, and any pertinent runway or speed restrictions cover special conditions such as maximum landing speed, short-field requirements, or other limitations that affect how you execute the landing. Wind information and altitude assignments are provided separately or earlier in the approach, and lighted runway sequence numbers aren’t part of the clearance.
