If pilots persist in their request to depart from a closed runway, quote them the appropriate parts of the NOTAM applying to the runway and ________.

inform them that a clearance can be issued if they will waive the NOTAM

inform them that a clearance cannot be issued

The situation tests how you enforce a NOTAM that closes a runway. If a runway is closed, you cannot authorize any takeoff from it. You must tell the pilots that a clearance cannot be issued for that runway and quote the NOTAM text that applies, so they understand the reason. There is no waiver or special approval that lets you override a closed runway, and airport management approval doesn’t change the status of the NOTAM. The appropriate next step is to offer alternatives, such as using a different, available runway or holding until the runway reopens.

inform them that a clearance can only be issued with approval from airport management

issue a takeoff clearance
