Which option lists two examples of Non-rated air crew members and their responsibilities?

• A. Flight Nurse - Nurse in the sky; Weather Officer - weather operator in the sky
• B. Flight Nurse - Nurse on the ground; Weather Officer - weather observer on the ground
• C. Weather Officer - Nurse in the sky; Flight Nurse - weather operator in the sky
• D. Flight Nurse - Flight surgeon; Weather Officer - Weather Officer on the ground

Answer: (A)

Non-rated air crew members are personnel who operate on a flight but do not hold pilot ratings or flight qualifications. Flight Nurse fits this category by providing medical care aboard the aircraft during flight, overseeing patient care, and supporting medical transfer missions. Weather Officer also fits, handling weather-related duties from the aircraft, such as collecting data and assisting with in-flight weather decisions. The other options place roles on the ground or assign the wrong duties, which means they aren’t describing typical non-rated aircrew responsibilities.
