Conflict of Interest
We must avoid situations where our personal interests conflict with the interests of ATC and disclose conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest if they arise.
Conflicts of interest can arise when personal interests interfere — or even appear to interfere — with the interests of ATC. If we have any type of interest that could conflict with the best interests of ATC, it must be disclosed.
