What may be omitted if the pilot states 'have the numbers'?

When ATC says “have the numbers,” it means you already possess the key numerical data and don’t need to repeat it. Those numbers are the runway in use (designator), the winds, and the altimeter setting. Because you’re assumed to have them, you may omit stating runway, wind, and altimeter in your readback or confirmation, and focus on other parts of the clearance or instructions. This helps keep radio communications concise in busy airspace.
