Which facility must be informed about academy equipment outages requiring NOTAM?

• A. McAlester FSS
• B. Oklahoma City FSS
• C. the Service Area
• D. Tulsa Approach Control

Answer: (A)

NOTAMs for outages at facilities are issued through the Flight Service Station that covers the geographic area where the outage is located. The Flight Service Station responsible for disseminating NOTAMs in that region is the McAlester FSS, so informing them ensures the outage is properly published to pilots. The other facilities listed either do not handle NOTAM dissemination for this area or have different roles, so they aren’t the correct contact for this outage.
