While conducting an off-line charter flight, fueling and servicing will be observed by a __________.

• A. Ground operations supervisor
• B. A flight deck crewmember
• C. Flight operations manager
• D. The client

Answer: (B)

The flight deck crewmember is the person designated to observe fueling and servicing on an off-line charter flight. This is because the flight crew has the ultimate responsibility for flight safety, weight and balance, and compliance with fueling requirements. By directly watching the fueling and servicing, they can verify fuel type and quantity, ensure proper grounding and bonding, confirm documentation, and intervene immediately if anything unsafe or non-conforming is found. Ground operations supervision or management roles oversee broader operations, and the client is not involved in safety oversight of fueling.
