as described at paragraph 12.2.4.3, may be assigned a visual approach at any distance from an aerodrome, if:

(a)         the aircraft has been assigned the minimum vector altitude; and

(b)         the aircraft has been given heading instructions to intercept final or to position the aircraft within the circling area of the aerodrome; and

(c)          the following phraseology is used to assign the visual approach:

(i)            "WHEN ESTABLISHED ON THE VASIS/GLIDEPATH CLEARED VISUAL APPROACH"; or

Section 12.3:   Aerodrome Clearances

12.3.1              General

12.3.1.1         In addition to the provisions of ICAO PANS-ATM, Chapter 7.1, aerodrome controllers must issue information and clearances with the object of preventing collisions between aircraft and vehicles operating on the helicopter movement area, but excluding helicopter landing sites situated on apron areas or beyond the sight of the tower controller.

12.3.1.2         Whenever more than one runway is in use, the runway number must be included in the line up, take-off or landing clearance.

12.3.1.3         When issuing clearances or instructions, controllers must take into account the hazards that may be caused by thrust stream turbulence. When such hazards may not be obvious to other aircraft, vehicles and personnel, an appropriate caution must be issued.

12.3.2              Taxi and Pre-Taxi Instructions

12.3.2.1         A taxi instruction which contains a taxi limit beyond a runway must include a "CROSS RUNWAY (number)" instruction.

12.3.2.2         Aircraft required to hold short of a runway intersecting the taxi route, must be issued a taxi instruction limit of the holding point associated with the intersecting runway. Taxi instructions must not include a position beyond that of a required intermediate holding point.

12.3.2.3         Departing and arriving aircraft must be issued with an instructions to "CROSS RUNWAY (number)" if previously issued with:

(a)         a taxi instruction limit of the holding point of a runway intersecting the taxi route; or

(b)         an instruction to "HOLD SHORT" of a runway.

12.3.3              Line Up and Take-off Clearances

12.3.3.1         When aircraft are authorised to line up on the same or intersecting runways simultaneously, traffic information must be provided as appropriate.

12.3.3.2         An aircraft delayed by the traffic situation must be issued traffic information if appropriate, and instructed to hold position off the runway, or must be issued a conditional line-up clearance.

12.3.3.3         When an instruction to line up does not include a take-off clearance and is issued with the departure instructions, the appropriate holding instruction must be given.

12.3.3.4         The words "TAKE-OFF" must be used only for clearing an aircraft for take-off.

12.3.3.5         The words "TAKE-OFF" must be used as the last words of a take-off clearance, except when the following information must be appended:

(a)         an instruction specifying a turn or circuit direction; or
