  1. Which entity has statutory authority to lead the investigation of a civil aircraft accident in the United States?

    Answer: The National Transportation Safety Board

    The NTSB is the independent federal agency charged with investigating civil aviation accidents; the FAA participates as a party.

  2. After a reportable accident, wreckage may be moved before NTSB release ONLY to:

    Answer: Protect the public, remove victims, or prevent further damage

    Part 830 permits disturbing wreckage only to rescue victims, protect the public, or prevent further loss before NTSB authorization.

  3. A key element of a flight department's security risk assessment for international trips is:

    Answer: Evaluating destination-specific threats using current intelligence sources

    Effective trip security requires destination-specific threat evaluation from current, reputable intelligence sources rather than a one-size-fits-all posture.

  4. Which practice best protects a parked business aircraft from tampering at an unfamiliar airport?

    Answer: Using tamper-evident seals, securing doors, and arranging vetted ramp surveillance

    Physical security layers such as seals, locked doors, and monitored parking are the standard defense against aircraft tampering.

  5. In crisis communications following an accident, the flight department spokesperson should:

    Answer: Release only confirmed facts and avoid speculation about cause

    Crisis communication best practice is to share confirmed facts with empathy and never speculate on cause, which the NTSB determines.

  6. What is the primary purpose of an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) in emergency response?

    Answer: Transmitting a distress signal to aid search and rescue in locating the aircraft

    The ELT transmits on distress frequencies (406 MHz) so search and rescue can quickly locate a downed aircraft.

  7. Which document should crew members carry procedures from to guide their immediate actions if the aircraft is hijacked?

    Answer: The company security program's hijack/unlawful interference protocol

    Response to unlawful interference is governed by the operator's security program protocols, including transponder codes and communication guidance.
