Why should a crew agree before flight on what to do if communication between the remote PIC and visual observer is lost?
- A.So the observer can take over flying without any training
- B.So the operation can continue unchanged for the rest of the battery
- C.So both know the predetermined response, such as ending the flight, instead of guessing under pressure
Correct answer
C. So both know the predetermined response, such as ending the flight, instead of guessing under pressure
Why
A prearranged procedure turns a communication failure into a known, rehearsed response. Without one, the crew may continue a flight in which the remote PIC has effectively lost an extra set of eyes.
