RCC reporting channels are

• A. ATIS, FICON, or NOTAM
• B. ATIS only
• C. FICON only
• D. NOTAM only

Answer: (A)

RCC reporting channels are ATIS, FICON, and NOTAM because each provides a different, essential stream of information that supports coordination and response. ATIS continuously broadcasts airport information such as weather, wind, visibility, altimeter, and active runways, so pilots and operators stay informed about current conditions. NOTAMs alert all users to temporary changes or hazards that can affect flight operations, like runway closures or navigation-aid outages, enabling proactive planning and safety. FICON serves as the data link between airline ops and ATC, delivering flight plans, status updates, and operational notices quickly to the RCC and flight crews. Together, these channels ensure the RCC can receive up-to-the-minute data and issue timely instructions. Relying on a single channel would miss either live conditions, formal notices, or direct flight-data communication, leaving gaps in situational awareness.
