A crew flying all afternoon in high heat notices a member becoming irritable, clumsy, and confused. What should happen?
- A.That person should stop operating, move to shade, cool down, and hydrate, and the operation should pause if crew fitness is in doubt
- B.That person should be given the next flight to stay active
- C.The crew should finish quickly before anyone else is affected
Correct answer
A. That person should stop operating, move to shade, cool down, and hydrate, and the operation should pause if crew fitness is in doubt
Why
Irritability, clumsiness, and confusion can be early heat-stress signs, and they directly undermine safe operation. Stopping, cooling, and hydrating protects both the person and the flight.
