What is considered main body?

• A. FM and BCMG once they have became
• B. Pilots and ATC
• C. Ground crew
• D. Dispatch and passengers

Answer: (B)

The main body in flight operations is the two key participants who directly manage and monitor the flight in real time: pilots and air traffic control. Pilots operate the aircraft, make navigation and system decisions, and respond to ATC instructions. Air traffic control provides clearances, routing, separation, and coordination with other aircraft to keep the flight safely on its planned path. Together, they form the active safety and control loop during flight.

Ground crew, dispatch, and passengers play vital supportive roles—ground crew handles on-ground tasks before and after flight, dispatch plans the flight and coordinates with the airline, and passengers are the travelers onboard. These roles contribute to operations, but they do not engage in the real-time airspace management and flight safety dialogue in the cockpit and with ATC.
