Why is it good practice for the crew to write down the sequence of events soon after an emergency, even before anyone asks for a report?
- A.Accurate, fresh notes preserve facts that memory will blur, supporting any later report or safety review
- B.Notes replace the need to preserve flight logs
- C.Notes allow the crew to change the recorded telemetry
Correct answer
A. Accurate, fresh notes preserve facts that memory will blur, supporting any later report or safety review
Why
Details such as times, warnings, and actions fade quickly after a stressful event. Prompt notes, kept alongside the preserved logs, make later reports and lessons-learned reviews far more reliable.
