This Directive is issued to prevent display of 'old' or expired ATC clearance messages on the CDU on subsequent flights, which could result in the aeroplane entering unauthorized airspace or following a flight path that does not provide minimum separation requirements between aircraft which could result in a near miss or mid-air collision.
