Radar Controller Knowledge Test 2 (CKT2) Practice Test

ELT signal information is forwarded to authorities by which facility?

Center Weather Service Unit Flight Service Station Local ATC Facility Air Route Traffic Control Center

Correct Answer:

Air Route Traffic Control Center

Explanation:

ELT distress signals trigger search-and-rescue coordination, and the facility that forwards that alert information to the appropriate authorities is the Air Route Traffic Control Center. The ARTCC acts as the regional hub for en route airspace and has the responsibility to relay ELT alerts to the Rescue Coordination Center and other authorities to initiate SAR operations. Center Weather Service Units provide weather support, Flight Service Stations handle pilot briefings and flight planning, and a Local ATC Facility (like a TRACON or tower) handles immediate local traffic control but not the broad SAR coordination role across the area.
