For CRG/AMG with EPU prepare for movement, when does time stop?

• A. When the movement order is issued
• B. When the last EPU is cleared from the hub stake (marker)
• C. When the AMG reports ready for movement
• D. When the engine starts

Answer: (B)

Time stop is the moment when all pre-move clearances are complete and the area is confirmed safe to move. In this setup, that means the last Engine Power Unit has been cleared from the hub stake (marker), ensuring the path is free of obstructions and all readiness checks tied to the EPU are satisfied. Once that final clearance occurs, movement can proceed under the planned sequence. Moving earlier—just after issuing the movement order, or after the AMG says ready, or once the engine starts—does not guarantee that the area is clear, so the formal clearance from the hub stake is the defining moment.
