Who do you contact if you found a weird or suspicious object during an aircraft inspection?

• A. Pilot
• B. SOC
• C. Airport Security
• D. GSC

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the Ground Security Coordinator is the on-site security lead for aircraft operations. If you find a strange or suspicious object during an inspection, you should inform the GSC because this role is specifically responsible for coordinating security responses on the ramp, communicating with authorities, and directing actions to contain any threat. The GSC has the authority and training to assess the situation, isolate the area, and escalate to the appropriate agencies as needed. The pilot focuses on flight operations, not security response; Airport Security has overall responsibility but relies on the GSC to manage the incident on the ground; the Security Operations Center handles centralized monitoring but is not the immediate on-site contact.
