What action should be taken if radar service is terminated?

When radar service is terminated, providing the aircraft with its position is essential for maintaining flight safety and situational awareness. This information allows the pilot to understand their current location relative to navigational aids, airspace boundaries, and other aircraft in the vicinity. It helps pilots to continue their flight as safely as possible, especially if they are transitioning to other navigational methods, such as dead reckoning, visual navigation, or using onboard navigation systems without radar guidance.

This action assists in ensuring that the pilot remains informed about their position, which is critical as they plan their next steps, including maintaining altitude, course, and communication with other air traffic control services or managing their own navigation. Clear communication during the termination of radar services is vital for the safety and efficiency of air traffic operations.
