Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Emergency Procedures & Human Factors Questions › Question 77
A client insists the flight must happen now because 'we have to get this shot today,' although conditions are marginal. How should the remote PIC treat that pressure?
- A.As a valid reason to lower personal weather minimums
- B.As a factor that automatically cancels the client's contract
- C.As an external pressure to recognize and set aside; the go/no-go decision remains the remote PIC's alone
Correct answer
C. As an external pressure to recognize and set aside; the go/no-go decision remains the remote PIC's alone
Why
Client urgency is a textbook external pressure: real, but irrelevant to whether the flight is safe. The remote PIC keeps the right, and the duty, to refuse or postpone regardless of commercial consequences.
