What are the responsibilities of the screener in order of importance

• A. Clipmarks/titles, maintain objective, direct aircrew, communicate with MM
• B. Maintain the objective, clipmarks/titles, direct aircrew, communicate with MM
• C. Maintain the objective, direct aircrew, communicate with MM, clipmarks/titles
• D. Direct aircrew, clipmarks/titles, maintain objective, communicate with MM

Answer: (C)

Maintaining objectivity comes first because impartial, criteria-based decisions underpin safe and fair screening. Once objectivity is secured, directing the aircrew keeps the process orderly and ensures everyone follows the established procedures, which prevents delays and confusion. After that, communicating with MM ensures that information and updates are shared so the team stays coordinated and aware of any changes or issues. Clipmarks and titles are important for records and later review, but they are less critical to real-time safety and flow, so they belong after the core operational duties.
