What must students inform the Radar Controller regarding aircraft that will not enter an ATA due to route or LOA altitude?

• A. The aircraft will not enter an ATA due to route.
• B. The aircraft is below the LOA altitude.
• C. Either A or B.
• D. The aircraft will enter an ATA despite route.

Answer: (C)

When coordinating radar flow, you must tell the Radar Controller if an aircraft will not enter the Assigned Traffic Area (ATA) and explain why. The reason can be that the route does not pass through the ATA, or that the aircraft’s altitude is below the LOA altitude. Because either situation can prevent entry, the correct approach is to report that the aircraft will not enter the ATA and specify the applicable cause. The other option only describes one possible cause, and the option implying entry into the ATA despite the route contradicts the given condition that it will not enter.
