When arrival/departure messages are broadcast separately, the information should be what?

• A. Info appropriate for those operations
• B. The pilot's name and contact
• C. Aircraft type and speed
• D. Weather only

Answer: (A)

Information broadcast for arrivals and departures should contain items directly relevant to those operations. In practice, that means the pilot receives the clearance and instructions needed to safely sequence and execute the approach or departure—such as the assigned route, altitude and speed restrictions, runway in use, and any necessary routing or holding instructions, plus traffic advisories and expectations for further clearance. Personal details like the pilot’s name or contact information aren’t required, and weather alone isn’t sufficient since the message must support the operational tasks of arriving or departing. Weather can be included if it impacts the operation, but it isn’t the sole content.
