Practice question

During a shift change or handover between controllers at a radar console, what is a key team resource management (TRM) practice to prevent traffic coordination errors?

  1. Using a standardized briefing checklist (e.g., active traffic, weather, airspace status) and observing a quiet monitoring period before transferring control.
  2. Transferring control instantly while the screen is busy to keep the incoming controller focused.
  3. Avoiding any verbal discussion to prevent distractions, relying entirely on reading paper flight strips.
  4. Allowing the outgoing controller to control half the traffic and the incoming controller to control the other half simultaneously.

Answer: A — Using a standardized briefing checklist (e.g., active traffic, weather, airspace status) and observing a quiet monitoring period before transferring control.
