What must be ensured when forwarding data?

When forwarding data, it is crucial to ensure that the information is correct and up to date. This accuracy is essential because any mistakes or outdated information can lead to miscommunication, operational errors, or safety hazards in air traffic control. Correct data ensures that controllers make informed decisions based on reliable information, which is vital for maintaining safety and efficiency within the airspace system.

The focus on correctness and timeliness helps to establish a foundation for effective communication and situational awareness, which are paramount in non-radar environments where every piece of information plays a critical role in managing air traffic.
