Positive Exchange of Flight Controls

When the person manipulating the controls hands the aircraft to another qualified operator, how should the exchange be done?

  • A.By setting the controller down where the other person can pick it up
  • B.By silently passing the controller during a stable hover
  • C.With a clear verbal exchange in which one person states they are giving control and the other confirms they have control
Correct answer

C. With a clear verbal exchange in which one person states they are giving control and the other confirms they have control

Why

A positive, verbal exchange ensures there is never a moment when nobody, or both people, believe they are flying the aircraft. The confirmation closes the loop before the first operator lets go.
