Drone exam · Operational procedures

The observer sees a low helicopter and says, 'You might want to look left when you get a second.' What should the crew have agreed before flight?

Answer

Use an unambiguous urgent call such as 'Aircraft, left, stop' or another agreed phrase that immediately tells the pilot what hazard exists and that action is required.

Explanation

Polite conversational wording can hide urgency. Standard crew calls reduce interpretation time when seconds matter.
