At Academy Tower, Ground Control receives the emergency checklist from which unit?

• A. Flight Data
• B. Clearance Delivery
• C. Local Control
• D. Flight Service

Answer: (C)

In this scenario, the key idea is which controller unit has immediate, on-field responsibility during an emergency. Local Control is the unit that directly manages aircraft on the airfield—runways and the movement area—and coordinates their immediate actions during emergencies. Because of that direct role, Local Control provides the emergency checklist to Ground Control so ground personnel can carry out the prescribed steps and keep the situation coordinated with the aircraft on the surface.

Other units handle different duties: Flight Data deals with flight plans and weather, Clearance Delivery handles pre-taxi clearances, and Flight Service offers information services. They don’t own or pass along the on-field emergency checklist to Ground Control.
