Are students required to comply with the next controller's request?

Students are required to comply with the next controller's request if feasible, as this reflects the standard operating procedures for effective communication and operational safety within radar operations. Compliance is crucial in ensuring the smooth transfer of information and coordination between controllers and pilots. This adherence fosters a professional environment that prioritizes safety and efficiency, enabling students to develop the necessary skills for real-world scenarios.

While students may assess the feasibility of a request, the emphasis is on cooperating whenever it's practical to do so. This approach ensures that all parties are aligned and operating under established protocols, which is essential in the high-stakes environment of radar operations. Adhering to requests from the next controller helps maintain situational awareness and minimizes the risk of misunderstanding or mishaps during operations.
