Routing issued to aircraft must be entered in the computer or verbally coordinated. Students are also responsible for advising the Radar Controller of routes or altitudes that must be issued to aircraft (including ERT).

• A. Enter only in the computer
• B. Enter in the computer or verbally coordinate, and advise the Radar Controller of routes or altitudes to be issued to aircraft
• C. Do nothing
• D. Notify supervisor only

Answer: (B)

Routing information must be communicated and recorded to ensure everyone has the same, up-to-date instructions for aircraft. The requirement that routing issued to aircraft be entered into the computer or verbally coordinated guarantees there is a live, traceable record and that the controller is aware of what will be issued. In addition, you are responsible for advising the Radar Controller of the routes or altitudes that will be issued, including any Emergency/ERT considerations, so the controller can anticipate and manage traffic accordingly. This combined practice prevents mismatches between what the system shows and what the controller expects, and it ensures timely, explicit coordination rather than assuming silence or relying on a single method. Entering only into the computer misses the human-in-the-loop confirmation, doing nothing fails to provide any guidance, and notifying a supervisor alone does not deliver the necessary operational coordination to the controller.
