What is the time frame for the operator to submit a report to the NTSB when requested?

• A. Within 6 hours
• B. When requested
• C. Within 24 hours
• D. Within 48 hours

Answer: (B)

The requirement is that the operator submits the report to the NTSB when the NTSB requests it, not on a fixed schedule. The agency may ask for information as part of its investigation, and when that request is made, the operator must provide the report promptly. There isn’t a universal deadline like six, twenty-four, or forty-eight hours that applies in advance; the timing is driven by the NTSB’s request. The other time frames imply a proactive deadline that isn’t specified here, whereas this scenario centers on responding to a direct request.
