How will an Electric Power Restriction be issued?

• A. In writing only.
• B. By radio broadcast only.
• C. By email only.
• D. Verbally or by Form D.

Answer: (D)

Electric Power Restrictions must reach the crew quickly and be properly recorded. The best way to do this is to issue the restriction verbally to those on the scene so everyone immediately knows what is allowed or not, and to document the restriction on Form D so there is an official written record of the directive, its scope, and the affected equipment or routes. This combination ensures rapid communication for safety and clear, traceable documentation for accountability and review. Relying on writing alone can delay action; a radio broadcast could communicate quickly but may lack formal documentation; relying on email alone isn’t reliable in field conditions where not everyone has immediate access to email.
