If another controller is involved in the alert, initiate coordination to ensure an effective course of action. Coordination is not required when immediate action is dictated.
Suppressing/Inhibiting CA/MCI alert. The suppress function may be used to suppress the display of a specific CA/MCI alert.
The inhibit function must only be used to inhibit the display of CA for aircraft routinely engaged in operations where approved separation criteria do not apply. NOTE-
Examples of operations where approved separation criteria do not apply are ADC practice intercept operations and air shows.
Computer entry of a message suppressing a CA/MCI alert constitutes acknowledgment for the alert and signifies that appropriate action has or will be taken.
