Who writes the HF paragraph of the narrative?

• A. IP/SP
• B. Flight Surgeon
• C. Maintenance Pilot
• D. Technical Inspector

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the Human Factors paragraph captures how people and decisions influenced what happened during the flight. The person who writes this section is the instructor pilot or safety pilot, because they were or observed the flight, understand the sequence of actions, and can assess how factors like workload, attention, communication, and decision-making affected the outcome. The Flight Surgeon tends to focus on medical or physiological aspects, not the narrative about human performance. The Maintenance Pilot and Technical Inspector concentrate on aircraft systems, maintenance, and technical issues, rather than on the pilots’ actions and choices during the flight. So the HF paragraph is provided from the perspective of the IP/Safety Pilot, who can describe how human factors contributed to the event and what could be done to prevent it in the future.
