During which step does the relieving specialist verify correctness of information received?

• A. Preview the position
• B. Review the position
• C. Verbal briefing
• D. Assumption of position responsibility

Answer: (B)

The crucial step is the review of the position. When the relieving specialist takes over, the incoming person carefully goes through the information received and checks it against records, logs, and current operations to ensure accuracy and completeness. This verification process helps identify discrepancies, confirms who is responsible for each task, and clarifies the current status of ongoing duties, weather, equipment, and any special instructions. Only after this thorough review is the information ready to be conveyed in a verbal briefing, so both controllers share a mutual, accurate understanding before the relieving specialist assumes responsibility. Previewing the position is about gathering initial context, the verbal briefing communicates what’s verified, and assuming responsibility comes after the information has been confirmed.
