Who can request operational information during flight watch?

• A. The Dispatcher
• B. The Air Traffic Controller
• C. The Passenger
• D. Pilot-in-Command

Answer: (D)

The Pilot-in-Command has the authority to request operational information during flight watch because they are responsible for the safety and operation of the flight. In flight watch, this role is there to support the PIC with timely data—things like weather updates, NOTAMs, fuel status, available alternates, and routing options—that the PIC may need to reassess the flight plan or make new decisions. The dispatcher and ATC can provide information, but the initiative to request it rests with the PIC, who holds ultimate responsibility for how the flight proceeds. Passengers do not participate in requesting operational information.
