A cadet notices pilot boarding happens without a permit to work, unlike most other access tasks. Does this mean it's unregulated?

A. Pilot boarding is governed only by the individual pilot's personal judgement

B. Yes — pilot ladder use genuinely falls outside any formal safety framework

C. No — pilot transfer is governed by its own detailed standards (rigging requirements, lighting, supervision) rather than the general permit system; the lack of a permit form doesn't mean a lack of control

D. A permit is technically required but rarely enforced in practice

A. There is no fixed maximum — it depends entirely on the job

B. 48 hours, renewable once without re-inspection

C. 7 days, matching the standard watch rotation

D. 24 hours from issue, with any shorter job-specific time limits also stated on the permit

A. Check elapsed time against the 24-hour limit, recognise it's close to expiry, and flag to the authorising officer that revalidation will be needed rather than letting it lapse unnoticed

B. Cancel the job immediately without consulting the authorising officer

C. Wait until the 24-hour mark is actually reached before mentioning anything

D. Accept the outgoing OOW's assessment and take no further action since the job scope hasn't changed
