How should known pertinent status information be presented to the relieving controller?

Presenting known pertinent status information to the relieving controller is critical for ensuring continuity and safety in air traffic operations. The best approach is to relay the information to the position responsible for displaying it. This method guarantees that the relieving controller receives all necessary updates in an organized and visible manner, ensuring they are fully aware of the operational status before taking over the air traffic control responsibilities.

This approach aligns with standard practices in air traffic control where information must be accurately communicated and displayed in real-time to maintain situational awareness. By ensuring the information is provided to the appropriate display position, it promotes effective handover processes and minimizes the risk of miscommunication that could compromise safety.

While displaying information in a System Information Area (SIA) could be beneficial, it does not ensure that the relieving controller has direct access to all relevant details unless the SIA is properly monitored. Relying on email is inefficient in this fast-paced environment where immediate updates are essential. Not displaying relevant information at all would prevent the relieving controller from having the necessary context, which could lead to safety hazards.
