What combination of documents should the First Officer carry in an evacuation?

• A. Loadsheet
• B. Notoc
• C. Both
• D. Flight Plan

Answer: (C)

In an evacuation, having quick access to the most essential operational information is crucial. The NOTOC (Notice to Captain) compiles flight-specific data and notices you’ll rely on during operations, so the First Officer carrying it helps ensure both crew members share the same critical reference, even if one person isn’t readily available. The load sheet is the weight and balance документ that shows current payload, fuel, and how the aircraft is loaded. Carrying it lets you verify that the aircraft remains within safe weight and balance limits and adapt calculations if items are moved or removed during evacuation. A flight plan, while important for planned routing, isn’t as immediately necessary in an evacuation context where the priority is access to essential data and safe reconfiguration. So the best combination is to have both the NOTOC and the load sheet.
