Erector Certification Examination
,1. A professional is applying watchkeeping, bridge-resource management and pilot-master information exchange integrated across the tasks during a formal acceptance check. What should be
verified before the work is accepted? Case EB-2251-0001: 2 checks are complete, 1 item(s) remain open, 1 supporting record(s) are available, the last review was 1 hour(s) ago, and the latest
result differs from the prior baseline by 8 unit(s).
A. Rely on the previous review even though the operating conditions and evidence have changed.
B. Shift attention to jurisdictional pilotage requirements, local knowledge and professional judgment with decisions and evidence and defer the unresolved evidence for watchkeeping,
bridge-resource management and pilot-master information exchange integrated across the tasks until after the current task is accepted.
C. Close the issue using an undocumented verbal assurance rather than verifiable evidence.
D. Reassess watchkeeping, bridge-resource management and pilot-master information exchange integrated across the tasks using the governing procedure, validate the result independently
where appropriate, and retain a traceable decision record.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation: The defensible approach is to verify watchkeeping, bridge-resource management and pilot-master information exchange integrated across the tasks against current criteria and
evidence before acceptance. This case still has 1 open item(s), and the baseline has changed by 8 unit(s), so proceeding without reconciliation would weaken safety, quality, traceability, and
