What should controllers be aware of when issuing a transfer of communications?

  1. The current weather conditions

  2. The aircraft's weight and balance

  3. The speed of the lead aircraft

  4. The airspace boundaries and coordination

The correct answer is: The airspace boundaries and coordination

When issuing a transfer of communications, it is crucial for controllers to be aware of the airspace boundaries and the necessary coordination that must take place. This ensures that the aircraft is handed off to the appropriate control facility, which can manage the aircraft's movement safely and efficiently as it transitions from one airspace sector to another. Proper coordination is vital to avoid confusion, maintain safety, and ensure that all necessary air traffic control procedures are followed. Being informed about airspace boundaries helps controllers understand which facility will take responsibility for the aircraft and ensures that the transfer of communications is seamless, enabling effective communication and management of air traffic.
