Which of the following is listed as a Safety Scenario?

• A. Spark plug fouled
• B. G1000 knowledge
• C. Oil Dripping in 152
• D. Instructor rushing

Answer: (A)

Safety Scenarios focus on events that can immediately threaten flight safety and require a pilot to respond under pressure. A spark plug fouled is a classic in-flight engine issue that can cause a drop in power or engine failure if not addressed, so it exemplifies a safety scenario because you must recognize the symptom, manage the situation, and follow the appropriate procedure. The other options are not immediate in-flight safety events: G1000 knowledge relates to cockpit avionics proficiency, which is a knowledge area rather than a safety incident; oil dripping in a 152 points to a maintenance issue that is typically handled before or after flight rather than as an in-flight safety scenario; instructor rushing reflects a human-factor situation that can affect judgment but isn’t itself an example of a safety-event scenario in this list.
