2. ________________
3. ________________
4. ________________

Answer 6

1. For non-critical system failure in flight, a QFI may proceed with the sortie if the mission can be carried out safely without any degradation in consultation with the SXO
2. On the ground, the aircrew will reject the aircraft with system failure and have an aircraft change
3. For critical systems (e.g. engine and fire warnings), a more cautious approach will be adopted and all aircrew are to recover to base even if in-flight diagnosis points to a spurious warning. Basically, we shall honour the warning and treat is as real
4. For solo trainees, the SXO must be informed and the sortie will be terminated.
