when able

when able
When used in conjunction with ATC (air traffic control) instructions, it gives the pilot the latitude to delay compliance until a condition or event has been reconciled. The term differs from “at the pilot’s discretion” in that the pilot is expected to comply with the instructions at the first available opportunity.
