Learn about approach clearances and variations of ATC phraseology heard during the approach phase of an IFR flight. Cleared for the approach, Vectors to final, vectors across the final approach course, and full approaches with circle to land are some of the approach clearances and phraseology heard in this video covering instrument approach clearances.
