PDC In Use!

Facility: ZBW

Starts: Nov 18, 2014

Ends: Nov 18, 2014

Summary

ATTENTION ALL vZBW PILOTS:

PDCs (Pre-Departure Clearances) are now in use at ALB, BOS, BDL, and PVD.

Be aware that PDCs will only be utilized when deemed necessary by the controller, for example, in situations such as high workload. However, if pilots wish to receive your clearance via PDC at one of these airports, they may make that request to the appropriate controller.

Pilots are not required to readback any portion of their PDC unless they have any questions or concerns. 

However, pilots are required to call in with the current ATIS code as well as their assigned transponder code. See example below:

"Boston Ground, JetBlue seventeen eighty-six ready for taxi with information Alpha, squawking 1301."

Feel free to email [email protected] with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions regarding these new PDC procedures.
