Hello to everybody!
I need your help,because I am confused! :ugh:
We have the following question:

The priority of the instruction "taxi to runway 05" is:
a)same as "line-up runway 07 and wait"
b)greater than "caution,construction work left on taxiway"
c)less than "cleared to land
d)greater than "transmit for QDM

1)"Taxi to runway 05" is a clearance.That means that it is a flight safety message.
2)"Transmit for QDM" is a Direction Finding message.Direction finging messages are of greater priority than Flight Safety messages so it is wrong.
3)"Cleared to land" is also a clearance,and therefore a flight safety message,so it has the same priority as taxi to runway 05.

I hope you all agree with the above.

Now,my question is:
What kind of message is the message "caution,construction work left on taxiway"?

I did a research in DOC 4444 and ANNEX 10.

FROM ANNEX 10:
Aeronautical administrative messages (priority indicator KK) shall
comprise:
a) messages regarding the operation or maintenance of facilities
provided for the safety or regularity of aircraft operations;

Isn't "caution,constuction work left on taxiway" a message concerning the operation or maintance of facilitied provided for the safety of aircraft operations?
KK priority is of the same priority with a flight regularity message (GG priority),lower than the priority of a flight safety message(FF priority).


FROM doc 4444:
Flight information messages
11.1.4.1 This category comprises:
a) messages containing traffic information (FF);
b) messages containing meteorological information (FF or GG);
c) messages concerning the operation of aeronautical facilities (GG);
d) messages containing essential aerodrome information (GG);
e) messages concerning air traffic incident reports (FF).

Also,does the message "caution,construction work left of taxiway" belong to one of the above five categories?My opinion is that it belong to the category c or d.

Do you agree with that?

I would like also to know your opinion about the following messages:
1)Caution,work in progress on the taxiway

2)Caution,construction and men adjacent to taxiway

I once asked eurocontrol about these two messages and told me that they are of the same priority as "caution,constuction work left of taxiway",but they didn't make clear of what kind of message they were.

So,what kind of messages are they?

I think it's more that the post is rather scattered, asking either six questions or one, hard to decipher.

I'd of thought that a caution about WIP would be the same as saying a taxi way is closed, which would form part of a taxi instruction, so would have the priority in that.

The original message is 'essential aerodrome information'.

The only sense I can make of this is:

The priority of the instruction "taxi to runway 05" is:

c) less than "cleared to land"

Some of those questions can be hard to decipher. Sometimes it's only the one sensible answer you can draw out of a faulty question that is the correct one.

@LookforJob
A clearance,or an instruction isn't it a Flight safety message,according to the definition?I think it is.Correct me if not.

If "caution,construction work etc" is a GG priority message,as you say,then b is also a correct answer,since "taxi to runway etc" is of greater priority.

You say I can't apply priority to every message,but I haven't read an exclusion.

Thank you all for your answers!!

Don't information messages belong to a priority category?
