Which intersection is a compulsory reporting point?

• A. STUEE
• B. DINKY
• C. HEDUD
• D. BARNEY

Answer: (A)

Compulsory reporting points are fixes along an IFR route where ATC requires you to report your position as you cross them. They exist so ATC can closely monitor your progress and ensure separation from other aircraft. STUEE is designated on the chart as a compulsory reporting point, so crossing it obligates you to make a position report to ATC. The other intersections—DINKY, HEDUD, and BARNEY—are ordinary intersections along the route and do not carry the mandatory reporting requirement by themselves, so you wouldn’t have to report crossing them unless ATC specifically asks you to.
