For AMG Prepare for Movement, when does time start?

• A. When the crew receives and confirms the movement order.
• B. When the AMG reports ready for movement.
• C. When the EPU is positioned over the hub stake.
• D. When chocks are stowed.

Answer: (A)

Time starts at the moment the movement order is received and confirmed by the crew. This is the official authorization to proceed, serving as the trigger for timing and synchronization. Once the order is acknowledged, everyone knows the exact start point for the movement sequence, which allows for proper coordination with other units and safety checks. The other events—reporting ready for movement, positioning the EPU, and stowing chocks—are important steps in the pre-move sequence, but they occur after the go has been given and do not define the official start of the movement timer.
