What interrupts an aircrew rest period?

• A. Rest is never interrupted.
• B. Only by mission commander.
• C. Aircrew rest periods can be interrupted only by official duties that require active participation of an aircrew member.
• D. Any break interrupts rest.

Answer: (C)

Aircrew rest is protected to keep you safe and effective, and it can be interrupted only when official duties require your active participation. This means you’re pulled from rest when there’s a task or duty that you must actively perform to support the mission or safety—such as a critical task, a required crew action, or duties assigned by the flight lead. If something occurs that doesn’t require you to actively participate, it shouldn’t interrupt rest. The interruption isn’t limited to the mission commander; it applies to any official duty that needs your active involvement.
