![]() For example, a controller would tell you to turn to a heading after takeoff by issuing a takeoff clearance such as, “Cessna 1234A, turn right heading 300, cleared for takeoff Runway 28.” The controller obviously means for you to turn right to 300 AFTER you takeoff. ![]() Notice this doesn’t happen when you first take off. It doesn’t matter which kind of go it is, so the controller skips the specifics by saying, “on the go….” “On the go…” was followed by some instruction regarding the departure because unless the practice approach ends with a full stop landing, you would be doing a “go” as defined above in the glossary. “Cleared for the RNAV Runway 17L approach,” told you you could do the approach. In your Class C example, you told the controller you were doing a practice RNAV followed by a departure to another airport. So for your Class D example, the punctuation would be, “Runway 26, cleared touch-and-go, left closed traffic on the go.” The meaning is, once you take off again (the “go”), make left traffic. So in order to give you that next instruction after you leave the runway, ATC tells you to do something when you are in that “go” phase by saying, “on the go…” You might be proceeding to your first waypoint on an IFR flight plan. You might be climbing via an obstacle clearance or SID. You might be headed back into the pattern. In all cases, the “go” means the same thing–departing the runway environment. In the glossary you will find “go around,” “touch-and-go,” and “stop-and-go.” Furthermore, “cleared for the option” includes all three options involving a “go” and it’s not much of a stretch to call going missed on a practice approach a “go around” because for the controller, there isn’t much difference. It is in the radio controller glossary–kind of.
