If an emergency aircraft lands at KGWO, what action is required with the strip when GWO tower provides a landing time?

• A. Remove the strip from the bay.
• B. Keep the strip in the bay.
• C. Send the strip to the supervisor.
• D. Update the strip and keep it in the bay.

Answer: (A)

In flight strip management, strips in the bay show what’s actively being coordinated. When GWO tower provides a landing time for the emergency aircraft, that coordination step is complete in the strip bay. Removing the strip from the bay reflects that it’s transitioned out of active duty and prevents clutter or confusion from lingering, outdated entries. Updating and keeping it in the bay would imply ongoing action is needed, which isn’t the case once a landing time is set. While there may be a separate filing or hand-off procedure, the immediate correct action in the strip bay is to remove it.
