Which remarks must be put and require verbal coordination?

• A. FUEL (Minimum) and NORDO
• B. ALTITUDE and SPEED
• C. WEATHER and VISUAL
• D. EMERGENCY and HOLD

Answer: (A)

In flight planning, remarks that indicate a condition needing immediate communication between the flight crew and ATC are the ones that must be put in the plan and require verbal coordination. FUEL (Minimum) signals fuel is at a minimum reserve, so ATC needs to be aware and coordinate priority handling, routing, or an expedited landing if needed. NORDO means no radio capability, which by definition requires explicit coordination with ATC on how to proceed, including expected procedures and handoffs. Together, these two remarks create a situation where both parties must talk and agree on actions, making them the ones that must be documented and discussed.

The other options describe standard parameters or conditions that don’t inherently mandate a coordinated verbal exchange in the same way, so they don’t fit the requirement as directly.
