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

• A. When the prepare for movement order is received AND confirmed
• B. When the last EPU is cleared
• C. When the EPU is positioned over hub stake
• D. When the engine is started

Answer: (A)

Time starts when the prepare for movement order is received and confirmed. This moment provides the formal authorization and a single, auditable starting point shared by the whole CRG/AMG with EPU, ensuring everyone is synchronized and the order is acknowledged before counting time. Preparatory steps like clearing the EPU, positioning it, or starting the engine are actions that occur after the start point and do not establish the official timing. If time began at those steps, changes or cancellations in the order could lead to misalignment and lack of traceability.
