Operators must keep an office copy of each Form D received.

Operators must keep an office copy of each Form D received.

• A. Yes, always
• B. Only if requested by the supervisor
• C. No, this is not required
• D. Only for Form Ds issued by the dispatcher

Answer: (A)

Keeping an office copy of every Form D received ensures a complete, auditable record of all official instructions or communications that affect operations. The Form D represents documented authority or instruction, and the office copy provides the permanent reference the office can rely on to verify receipt, date, and proper handling. This requirement applies to every Form D, regardless of who issued it, and it isn’t optional or conditional on a supervisor’s request.
