Landing Clearance

Munich Tower · OE-DMS

TOWER: OE-DMS, runway zero-eight right clear, cleared to land.

PILOT: CLEARED to land, runway zero-eight right, OE-DMS.

Analysis: Landing clearance is issued in the simplest form: "cleared to land" with the runway. You read back "cleared to land" and the runway.

You now continue your descent, cross the runway threshold, and land the aircraft smoothly on runway 08 right. You touch down, reverse, and exit the runway at taxiway Charlie.
