cuddlybear Well, it must have happened twice on Friday then, because the OJTI had just taken it from the Trainee when I made the call to Solent.
Doesn't change the answer though!

When is a clearance limit not a clearance limit?
When you are issued with a heading.
For example: Inbound Heathrow, issued OCK3B = Clearance Limit is OCK. Aircraft calls terminal sector and is issued headings to fly - passing OCK, they don't turn around and head off into the OCK hold.
In the case of EGHI, the 'clearance limit' is stated because you are not following a STAR (although, I think there are some in the pipeline?)
