What should be done after opening the sector OUTAGE and STATUS windows?

After opening the sector OUTAGE and STATUS windows, it is essential to inform the Radar Controller via an override call. This action is critical because it ensures that the controller is aware of the changes in the operational status of the radar. The OUTAGE window indicates any ongoing issues or failures, while the STATUS window provides current operational information. By communicating this information effectively, the radar system maintains safety and awareness among the personnel involved, allowing for coordinated responses to any issues that may arise.

This is particularly important in radar operations where real-time communication is key to maintaining situational awareness and ensuring that all controllers are aligned on the current sector status. Additionally, this step can help in preventing misunderstandings or miscommunications which could lead to safety hazards or operational inefficiencies.
