Which remarks are considered pertinent to the control of the aircraft?

• A. Pilots last flight
• B. Request no route/altitude changes
• C. Random route
• D. Pilots will fly direct

Answer: (B)

Focusing on remarks that affect how an aircraft is managed in the airspace is key. The most pertinent remark is a stated constraint that the pilot does not want or authorize any changes to route or altitude. This directly informs the controller’s planning and sequencing, because it reduces unpredictability and helps maintain a safe, stable flow of traffic. When a pilot asks for no route or altitude changes, the controller can plan around that constraint, expect fewer deviations, and manage spacing more reliably.

The other remarks don’t meaningfully aid control: notes about the pilot’s last flight don’t impact current handling; proposing a random route introduces unsafe uncertainty; and a statement like fly direct doesn’t convey a constraint or a clear request that the controller can rely on for ongoing management.
