At AAC Airport, what is the correct phraseology to taxi an aircraft from Spartan Aviation, that is requesting an intersection departure?

• A. C172PT, Spartan Ground, Rnwy 28R at C, taxi via GBC, Hold short on rnwy 16
• B. C172PT, Academy Ground, Rnwy 28R at C, taxi via GBC, Hold short on rnwy 16
• C. C172PT, Academy Ground, Rnwy 28R at C, taxi via GBC, Hold short on rnwy 18
• D. C172PT, Academy Ground, Rnwy 28L at C, taxi via GBC, Hold short on rnwy 16

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is using proper ground taxi phraseology with the correct airport ground controller name, the correct runway, and the exact hold-short instruction for an intersection departure. You should contact the airport’s designated ground facility, not the FBO’s name, and you must state the runway you’ll be using, the intersection you’ll taxi from, the published taxi route, and the hold-short point. In this scenario, the correct ground contact is Academy Ground, not Spartan Ground, because Academy Ground is the designated ground controller for AAC Airport. The runway specified is 28R, which is the active runway for this departure, and you’re departing from the intersection at taxiway C. The route to the runway is the published taxi path GBC, and you must hold short of Runway 16 to ensure you don’t cross it until clearance is given. Putting it together, the standard call is: C172PT, Academy Ground, Runway 28R at C, taxi via GBC, hold short of Runway 16. The other options don’t fit because they use the wrong ground facility, reference the wrong runway, or state a hold-short point that doesn’t match the intended intersection departure.
