AIM
(a)
Advises pilots to “resume normal speed”
when the aircraft is on a heading, random routing,
charted procedure, or route without published speed
restrictions.
(b)
Instructs pilots to “comply with speed
restrictions” when the aircraft is joining or resuming
a charted procedure or route with published speed
restrictions.
CAUTION
−
The phraseology “Climb via SID” requires compliance
with all altitude and/or speed restrictions depicted on the
procedure.
(c)
Instructs pilots to “resume published
speed” when aircraft are cleared via a charted
instrument flight procedure that contains published
speed restrictions.
(d)
Advises aircraft to “delete speed restric
tions” when ATC assigned or published speed
restrictions on a charted procedure are no longer
required.
(e)
Clears pilots for approach without restat
ing previously issued speed adjustments.

6.
Gives due consideration to aircraft capabili
ties to reduce speed while descending.
7.
Does not assign speed adjustments to aircraft
at or above FL 390 without pilot consent.

10. Traffic Advisories (Traffic
Information)
a. Pilot.
1.
Acknowledges receipt of traffic advisories.
2.
Informs controller if traffic in sight.
3.
Advises ATC if a vector to avoid traffic is
desired.
4.
Does not expect to receive radar traffic
advisories on all traffic. Some aircraft may not appear
on the radar display. Be aware that the controller may
be occupied with higher priority duties and unable to
issue traffic information for a variety of reasons.
5.
Advises controller if service is not desired.
b. Controller.
1.
Issues radar traffic to the maximum extent
consistent with higher priority duties except in
Class A airspace.
2.
Provides vectors to assist aircraft to avoid
observed traffic when requested by the pilot.
3.
Issues traffic information to aircraft in the
Class B, Class C, and Class D surface areas for
sequencing purposes.
4.
Controllers are required to issue traffic
advisories to each aircraft operating on intersecting or
nonintersecting converging runways where projected
flight paths will cross.

11. Visual Approach
a. Pilot.
1.
If a visual approach is not desired, advises
ATC.
2.
Complies with controller’s instructions for
vectors toward the airport of intended landing or to a
visual position behind a preceding aircraft.
3.
The pilot must, at all times, have either the
airport or the preceding aircraft in sight. After being
cleared for a visual approach, proceed to the airport
in a normal manner or follow the preceding aircraft.
Remain clear of clouds while conducting a visual
approach.
4.
If the pilot accepts a visual approach
clearance to visually follow a preceding aircraft, you
are required to establish a safe landing interval behind
the aircraft you were instructed to follow. You are
responsible for wake turbulence separation.
5.
Advise ATC immediately if the pilot is unable
to continue following the preceding aircraft, cannot
remain clear of clouds, needs to climb, or loses sight
of the airport.
6.
Be aware that radar service is automatically
terminated, without being advised by ATC, when the
pilot is instructed to change to advisory frequency.
7.
Be aware that there may be other traffic in the
traffic pattern and the landing sequence may differ
from the traffic sequence assigned by approach
control or ARTCC.
b. Controller.
1.
Do not clear an aircraft for a visual approach
unless reported weather at the airport is ceiling at or
