7110.65P2/19/04the pilot. When issuing a cruise clearance to an airportwhich does not have a published instrumentapproach, a cruise clearance without a crossingrestriction may be issued.PHRASEOLOGY−MAINTAIN/CRUISE (altitude). MAINTAIN (altitude)UNTIL (time, fix, waypoint),or(number of miles or minutes) MILES/MINUTES PAST (fix,waypoint).CROSS (fix, point, waypoint),orINTERCEPT (route) AT OR ABOVE (altitude), CRUISE(altitude).NOTE−1. The crossing altitude must assure IFR obstructionclearance to the point where the aircraft is established ona segment of a published route or instrument approachprocedure.2. When an aircraft is issued a cruise clearance to anairport which does not have a published instrumentapproach procedure, it is not possible to satisfy therequirement for a crossing altitude that will ensure terrainclearance until the aircraft reaches a fix, point, or routewhere altitude information is available to the pilot. Underthose conditions, a cruise clearance without a crossingrestriction authorizes a pilot to determine the minimumIFR altitude as prescribed in 14 CFR Section 91.177 anddescend to it at pilot discretion if it is lower than the altitudespecified in the cruise clearance.b. Instructions to climb or descend includingrestrictions, as required. Specify a time restrictionreference the UTC clock reading with a time check.If you are relaying through an authorized communicationsprovider, such as ARINC, FSS, etc., advisethe radio operator to issue the current time to theaircraft when the clearance is relayed. Therequirement to issue a time check shall be disregardedif the clearance is issued via Controller Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC).EXAMPLE−1. “United Four Seventeen, climb to reach one threethousand at two two one five.”“Time two two one one and one−quarter.”The pilot is expected to be level at 13,000 feet at 2215 UTC.2.
