What action must be taken when a short range clearance limit is utilized?

When a short range clearance limit is utilized, it's important to inform the pilot of the alternate routing expected. This ensures that the pilot is aware of their flight's trajectory beyond the clearance limit and helps maintain situational awareness for both the pilot and air traffic control. Providing this information facilitates smoother navigation and allows the pilot to prepare for any necessary adjustments to their flight plan.

By communicating the expected routing, the controller supports the pilot in managing their flight effectively, particularly when there may be upcoming traffic or airspace constraints. This practice enhances safety and coordination in the airspace. The other options involve actions that are not directly related to the use of short range clearance limits and may not contribute to the clarity and effectiveness of the pilot's flight management in the context of a limited clearance.
