Which statement best describes the role of the Coordination Menu when automated coordination is unavailable?

• A. It is used to annotate manual coordination.
• B. The Coordination Menu is used primarily to initiate automated coordination.
• C. It records flight plan changes automatically.
• D. It is not used in EDST operations.

Answer: (A)

When automation isn’t available, the Coordination Menu serves as the record of manual coordination actions. It provides a structured way to annotate who coordinated with whom, what was agreed, and any timing or boundary details, so operators have a clear, auditable trace and can maintain situational awareness. This fits best because its purpose is to document manual coordination, not to start automated processes, not to automatically record flight plan changes, and it is part of EDST operations, not something unused in those operations.
