When issuing traffic for a point out between ERAM facilities, to which display should you force the traffic data block?

• A. The receiving controller's display.
• B. The pilot's display.
• C. The supervisor's display.
• D. The transferring controller's display.

Answer: (D)

During a point-out between ERAM facilities, the traffic data block remains under the transferring controller’s display to keep the handoff coherent and under one authoritative source. Forcing the block to the transferring controller’s display ensures the issuing controller maintains visibility and control while the receiving facility prepares to take over the aircraft’s data. This continuity helps prevent miscoordination or data mismatches as the handoff progresses. The pilot’s display isn’t used for managing internal traffic blocks, and the supervisor’s display is for oversight rather than active handoff data handling. The receiving controller’s display will ultimately reflect the block when the handoff is completed, but during the transfer the transferring controller’s display is the place where the data block should be forced.
