Correct answer: C. The Chart Supplement U.S.

  • B — incorrect ATIS is a looped recording of local weather and other non-control information, not a comprehensive airport reference.
  • C — correct The study guide states that the Chart Supplement U.S. (formerly the Airport/Facility Directory) provides the most comprehensive information on a given airport.

BACKGROUND

The Chart Supplement U.S. is published in seven books organized by region, is revised every 56 days, and is also available digitally from the FAA. For a complete listing of the information provided and how to decode it, the study guide refers pilots to the Legend Sample located in the front of each Chart Supplement U.S.

When a question asks for the most complete airport reference, the answer is the Chart Supplement U.S., not the chart or ATIS.
