When arrival/departure messages are broadcast separately, what information is required?

• A. Flight schedule only
• B. Appropriate to that operation
• C. Weather data only
• D. Aircraft type only

Answer: (B)

The required information must be tailored to the specific operation. When arrival and departure messages are broadcast separately, you include only what is appropriate to that operation—data that provides the controller with what’s needed to manage the flow. For arrivals, that means details that help sequencing and approach (such as the runway in use, applicable approach/departure procedures, altitudes, and routing). For departures, it means details that establish the initial climb and path away from the field (initial route, assigned altitude, departure procedure). The other options—flight schedule, weather data, or aircraft type alone—don’t supply the full, operation-specific context needed to handle arrivals or departures safely, so they aren’t sufficient on their own.
