When a taxi clearance to a runway is issued to an aircraft, confirm that the aircraft has the correct

• A. Runway assignment
• B. Transponder code
• C. Flight plan
• D. Approach path

Answer: (A)

Taxi clearance to a runway focuses on directing you to the correct takeoff surface. Confirming the runway assignment in the clearance ensures you’re being routed to the intended runway and helps prevent a runway incursion. The transponder code is a radar identification code assigned separately and isn’t part of confirming the ground path to the runway. The flight plan is a prefiled document for the flight and isn’t something you verify with ATC during taxi. The approach path relates to how you’ll proceed for the landing, not the ground movement to the runway. So, validating the runway assignment is the key step.
