In the radar team scenario, if the student asks the R-side to repeat or confirm information three or more times, what does this indicate?

• A. An error has occurred
• B. No error
• C. The scenario ends
• D. The R-side will adjust

Answer: (A)

When information has to be repeated or confirmed three or more times, it signals an error in the communication or data being exchanged. In radar coordination, messages are expected to be understood on the first pass. Needing repeated confirmation points to a mismatch, garbled data, or ambiguity in what was sent, which means something didn’t come through clearly. That triggers an error-handling step: re-verify the data, ask for a resend, or pause to reestablish a common understanding before proceeding. The other options don’t fit because they imply smooth communication, completion of the scenario, or immediate adjustment without signaling a communication problem.
