- The relevant rule is from AIP RAC 4.2.5:
- "If a pilot is required to cross any runway while taxiing towards the departure runway, the ground or airport controller will issue a specific instruction to cross or hold short. If a specific authorization to cross was not received, pilots shall hold short and request authorization to cross the runway."
- Unless specific instructions were given to cross the other runway, the pilot must hold short and ask or wait for clearance to taxi across.
- You do not need specific clearance to cross other taxiways, as long as you stay on the taxiway you were directed to take..
- Absolutely not. There might be aircraft landing before you will be cleared to leave.
- A clearance will normally include "hold short" or "cross" the other runway, but if it doesn't, you must stop.
- This is a common question for schools to mismark. I used to have it wrong on here, even. If your instructor marks it differently than I do, politely point out the AIP section, and ask for an explanation of why your answer is wrong. Some instructors are willing to admit to mistakes and some aren't: you'll find out which kind you have.
