If the aircraft diverts, is there a requirement to post a new strip?

• A. You must post a new strip.
• B. There is no requirement to post a new strip unless the diversion is to another sector 66 airport that would normally require a posted strip.
• C. You must delete the old strip.
• D. Post strip in SPA.

Answer: (B)

Only post a new strip when the diversion takes the aircraft into a different sector’s airport that would normally require a posted strip. If the aircraft diverts within the same sector or to an airport that wouldn’t require a posted strip, the existing strip remains valid and you don’t need a new one. You would only create a new strip to reflect the handoff into another sector’s controller area where a posted strip is part of the normal workflow. Deleting the old strip isn’t automatic unless directed, and posting in SPA isn’t required by default unless the procedural rule for that situation applies.
