Hey guys,
Im new, so hi
Anyway, I control on the VATSIM newtwork (Yes I know not "real" but its better then nothing). Anyway, I control at Sydney (YSSY, SYD) as a tower controller.
My instructor said flew in today and told me that ATC has no right to instruct an aircraft to exit via a specific taxiway, only exit left or right. My initial response was then why do ATC assign a intersection departure?
Here is a typical arrival dialogue:
VOZ889: Sydney Tower VOZ889 on final 16r
TOWER: VOZ889, Sydney tower, good afternoon exit via B7, Runway 16r cleared to land
VOZ889: Exit via B7, 16R Cleared to land.
Now I hear "exit via" all the time, am I correct in issuing an exit instruction?
