Who issues a time check to a pilot who has received a void time?

• A. Facility delivering the clearance
• B. Air traffic control supervisor
• C. Pilot's airline operations
• D. Airport operations desk

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the clearance-issuing authority is the one responsible for monitoring and communicating the validity of that clearance. When a pilot receives a clearance with a void time, the facility that issued that clearance—the ATC facility delivering the clearance—provides a time check to remind the pilot of how much time remains before the clearance expires if the aircraft hasn’t departed. This keeps the clearance process safe and orderly, preventing use of an invalid clearance later.

Time checks are a routine part of the interaction between the pilot and the facility that issued the clearance, and they can be given over the radio or through data-link as needed. Other entities like airline operations or airport desks don’t have authority to issue these ATC time reminders, and a supervisor, while able to oversee operations, isn’t the typical source of a time check to the pilot for a specific void time.
