Read the first 7 Emergency Response and Security flashcards as text

  1. Following a fatal accident, which party is responsible for notifying next of kin?

    Answer: Trained company representatives coordinating with authorities, never the media

    Next-of-kin notification must be handled by trained, designated personnel in coordination with authorities before any public release of names.

  2. What transponder code should a flight crew squawk to signal unlawful interference (hijacking)?

    Answer: 7500

    Code 7500 signals unlawful interference; 7600 is radio failure, 7700 is general emergency, and 1200 is VFR.

  3. When selecting an international ground handler, the strongest security-related criterion is:

    Answer: Documented personnel vetting and a verifiable security track record

    Handler personnel access the aircraft and itinerary, so vetting and a verifiable security record outweigh cost considerations.

  4. An aviation manager conducting a post-incident review (after-action review) should focus on:

    Answer: Identifying what worked, what failed, and updating the ERP accordingly

    The after-action review captures lessons learned and drives plan revisions, sustaining continuous improvement rather than blame.

  5. Which practice reduces the risk of insider threats within a flight department?

    Answer: Pre-employment background checks combined with ongoing access reviews

    Background checks at hire plus periodic access audits and prompt credential revocation are the core insider-threat controls.

  6. During a natural disaster threatening the home base airport, the flight department's continuity plan should prioritize:

    Answer: Relocating aircraft and personnel safely and preserving operational capability

    Business continuity planning calls for proactive aircraft evacuation and personnel safety measures to preserve life and operational capability.

  7. Why should a flight department control the release of passenger manifests after an accident?

    Answer: Premature release can harm families and compromise privacy and legal obligations

    Passenger identity release must follow family notification and legal/privacy requirements, so it is tightly controlled through the ERP.
