What does ZAE need to do when conducting clearances for departures from MLU?

When conducting clearances for departures from MLU, ZAE is required to issue and relay clearances for approaches, which is central to maintaining safe and efficient operations. This involves providing pilots with the necessary clearances to ensure that they follow the appropriate routing and comply with air traffic regulations as they depart.

Issuing clearances ensures that all aircraft are appropriately sequenced and that any necessary instructions related to the approach are clearly communicated. This is vital in preventing potential conflicts among aircraft, especially in busy airspace. The requirement to relay approach clearances reinforces the controller's responsibility to keep the flight information current and correct, aiding in overall situational awareness and safety.

The requirement underlines the importance of communication between different sections of air traffic control and ensures that each pilot receives clear and accurate instructions tailored to their specific situation, especially for departures from a busy or complex terminal area.
