Home › Part 107 Practice Tests › Emergency Procedures & Human Factors Questions › Question 17
Why should emergency duties, such as who calls for help and who watches the aircraft, be assigned before takeoff?
- A.So each crew member can act immediately in an assigned role instead of duplicating or neglecting tasks during the emergency
- B.So the remote PIC is relieved of responsibility for the flight
- C.So fewer checklists are needed for normal operations
Correct answer
A. So each crew member can act immediately in an assigned role instead of duplicating or neglecting tasks during the emergency
Why
Emergencies leave little time to organize, so pre-assigned roles prevent gaps and confusion. The remote PIC still retains overall responsibility for the operation.
