When should you relay the new ATIS code to the other tower operating positions?

• A. Once the new ATIS is being broadcast
• B. When new weather is received
• C. Once the new ATIS code is determined
• D. When the supervisor directs you

Answer: (A)

ATIS updates are shared across the whole tower complex so everyone is using the same information. The ATIS code is the identifier pilots reference, and it becomes relevant only when the new information is actually being broadcast. Relay the new ATIS code as soon as the update starts broadcasting to ensure all tower positions and pilots have the current data at the same time, avoiding mismatches or stale information. Waiting for weather to come in, waiting until the code is determined, or waiting for supervisor direction would all cause delays and potential confusion.
