Who issues a time check to a pilot who has received a void time?

• A. Ground control
• B. Facility delivering the clearance
• C. Flight service station
• D. Approach control

Answer: (B)

The correct answer is that the facility delivering the clearance issues a time check to a pilot who has received a void time. In air traffic control, when a clearance is issued with a void time, it indicates that the pilot must depart before that specified time to ensure an organized and safe flow of traffic. If a pilot finds themselves unable to depart by the void time, they must request a new clearance.

The facility that issued the original clearance is responsible for any follow-up communication regarding that clearance, including providing a time check. This ensures that the pilot has accurate and up-to-date information necessary for their departure. Coordination and communication among different control facilities, such as ground control or approach control, may occur, but the initial facility delivering the clearance retains the responsibility to provide the relevant updates.
