In the ATIS broadcast, NOTAMS that affect operations should be included in the ...

• A. Enroute area
• B. Terminal area
• C. Airport operations area
• D. Final approach area

Answer: (B)

ATIS is meant to provide pilots with current, essential information specific to the airport and its surrounding terminal area to support safe arrivals, departures, and surface operations. NOTAMs that affect local operations—such as runway closures or changes in instrument approaches, taxiway restrictions, lighting outages, or airspace restrictions near the airport—are included in the ATIS so pilots can plan accordingly. NOTAMs that impact enroute navigation or broader airspace are handled in enroute advisories and wouldn’t normally be part of the airport’s ATIS. So, information that directly influences the airport’s operations belongs in the terminal area portion of the broadcast.
