The EASA FCL makes particular mention of the need to read back the following
clearances:

- ATC route clearances

- Clearances related to runway in use

- Other clearances such as conditional clearances
- Data such as runway, altimeter settings, SSR codes etc

8.3 Radar Procedures

8.3.1 Radar Identification and Vectoring

Before an aircraft can be given a radar service, the controller must positively

identify which ‘blip’ on his screen is the aircraft requiring service.

Usually this is done by giving the aircraft an SSR (Secondary Surveillance Radar)

code to squawk, however if SSR is not available the controller will tell his ‘target’
to turn so that he may be identified on the radar screen.

Note: Identification is not a service, the pilot is told when he has been identified and has a
radar service e.g. “Radar Control”, he then acknowledges receipt of the service.

8.3.1.1 Radar Vectoring

Radar vectoring means that an aircraft may be told to fly specific headings by

the radar controller. Pilots may be told the reason for this, but not always. Pilots
may also request radar vectors in situations such as radar vectors to the ILS (final

approach), avoiding severe weather ahead or to the next position / airfield.

8.3.1.2 Headings

The controller may wish to keep an aircraft on its present heading for a short

while or change heading.
Often the controller will ascertain the aircraft heading first:

“SPD turn left heading 300” (heading tree zero zero)

The clearance must be readback....
“Left heading 300 SPD”
