Which duty is NOT generally included in LC position duties?

• A. Make ATIS recordings
• B. Monitor radio frequencies
• C. Coordinate with other sectors
• D. Issue taxi instructions

Answer: (A)

Local Control duties in a tower are focused on handling aircraft on the ground and in the immediate airspace, with continuous communication to pilots and other control units. Monitoring radio frequencies is essential to stay in touch with pilots and neighboring sectors. Coordinating with other sectors ensures smooth traffic flow and proper handoffs between units like Approach, Departure, and Ground. Issuing taxi instructions guides aircraft safely along taxiways to runways and parking spots. ATIS information, by contrast, is generated and broadcast by automated systems or the facility’s information service, not produced by the Local Controller as a routine duty. Therefore, the task that isn’t generally part of Local Control duties is making ATIS recordings.
