Controller Knowledge Test 2 (CKT2) Practice Exam

When handing off to JAN approach, you must provide a complete set of data so the receiving controller can take over cleanly. The best phraseology combines inbound handoff with clear position information, including direction from a known fix, the aircraft’s callsign, and its altitude. This tells JAN approach which aircraft is being handed off, where it is relative to a fix, and what altitude it’s maintaining, enabling proper sequencing and separation.

Other options don’t give the full picture: simply telling the pilot to contact JAN approach or issuing a standard handoff alone omits the essential position and altitude data; directing a direct-to without a fix isn’t appropriate for transferring to approach control.
