NOTAMS included in ATIS broadcast should be those that affect operations in which area?

• A. Enroute area
• B. Airport operations area
• C. Terminal area
• D. Local area

Answer: (C)

ATIS should include NOTAMs that directly affect operations in the airport’s terminal area—everything that influences arrivals, departures, and surface movement around the airport. This includes runway or taxiway closures, instrument approach or departure procedure changes, and lighting or surface restrictions that pilots need to know when planning and executing a flight in the immediate vicinity of the airport. NOTAMs about enroute routes or distant airspace aren’t included because they don’t impact the day-to-day operations you perform in the terminal environment, and ATIS aims to deliver only information that’s relevant to the immediate airport operations.
