Equipment used during flight must be reported to the captain prior to landing, but before which event?

• A. Before Next Departure
• B. Before Landing
• C. Before Takeoff
• D. Before Arrival

Answer: (A)

The point being tested is when post-flight equipment usage information should be communicated to the captain. It’s reported before the next departure, so the captain has a complete picture of what was used and any issues before the aircraft begins its next leg. This timing supports proper planning, maintenance awareness, and safety checks for the upcoming flight. Reporting before landing wouldn’t give the crew time to act for the next flight, and reporting before takeoff or before arrival doesn’t align with the need to review equipment usage for the next operated segment.
