In a point out interaction, which controller is responsible for monitoring the traffic?

• A. Transferring controller
• B. Receiving controller
• C. Both controllers
• D. No specific responsibility

Answer: (C)

In a point out interaction, both the transferring controller and the receiving controller share the responsibility of monitoring the traffic involved. This collaborative approach ensures that the aircraft being pointed out is safely integrated into the receiving controller's airspace while still remaining the responsibility of the transferring controller until an official handoff is made. The transferring controller maintains awareness of the flight's status and can intervene if necessary, while the receiving controller assumes responsibility for the aircraft's separation and traffic management as it enters their sector. This dual responsibility is critical for maintaining safety and efficient operations in air traffic control.
