  1. The pilot has received the full ATIS broadcast and its code
  2. The pilot has copied the ATIS code letter only
  3. The pilot has wind, runway, and altimeter, not the full ATIS
  4. The pilot has a clearance to land and has the airport in sight
Show answer

Correct answer: The pilot has wind, runway, and altimeter, not the full ATIS

"Have numbers" means wind, runway, and altimeter only. It does not mean the pilot received the ATIS.
