Which statement best describes the 2P role within the screening process?

• A. The 2P is responsible for controlling the camera
• B. The 2P is responsible for reviewing the feed
• C. The 2P directs aircrew
• D. The 2P analyzes weather data

Answer: (C)

In this screening context, the 2P’s job is to direct aircrew. The 2P acts as the on-deck supervisor who keeps the crew moving through the exercise by issuing timing cues, coordinating actions, and ensuring everyone follows procedures in the proper sequence. This role focuses on managing people and flow, so the aircrew knows what to do next and when to do it, contributing to safety and efficiency.

The other tasks are handled by different specialists: controlling the camera is a camera operator’s duty, reviewing the feed is done by someone monitoring the output, and analyzing weather data falls to the weather analysis personnel. Those duties support the screening process, but they’re not the 2P’s primary responsibility.
