8.10.1. IFR clearance is generally received on a clearance delivery frequency (found on the approach plate). The clearance should mirror what was filed on the DD Form 1801; however, clearances may be changed by ATC. The clearance can include, but is not limited to, routing, heading after takeoff, altitude, departure frequency, squawk, etc. A useful memory aid is CRAFT (C: Clearance Limit, R: Route, A: Altitude(s), F: Frequency, and T: Transponder).
