Ground control shall ensure strip-marking is completed for instructions or clearances issued or received. Which item completes this requirement?

• A. Clearances
• B. Approvals
• C. Notices
• D. Warnings

Answer: (A)

When ground control marks the strip, the focus is on recording the actual instruction that governs movement. Clearances are the specific directives issued to aircraft or vehicles—telling them where to go, what to do, and in what sequence. Placing that clearance on the strip creates a reliable, shared reference so the controller and the pilot or driver can stay aligned and maintain safe separation. Approvals, notices, or warnings aren’t the commands being tracked for movement instructions, so they don’t fulfill this particular recording requirement in the strip system.
