When the QR code is missing, which action correctly initiates access to the activation code?

• A. The flight crew resets the code using onboard procedures.
• B. One crewmember contacts OCC to obtain the manual activation code specific to that aircraft.
• C. The aircraft's manufacturer provides a remote code.
• D. ATC issues a temporary activation code.

Answer: (B)

When a QR code is missing, access to the activation code must be controlled and traceable, so the correct action is to contact the Operations Control Center to obtain the manual activation code that is specific to that aircraft. The OCC maintains and verifies aircraft-specific codes, ensuring proper authorization and security. Flight crews do not have onboard procedures to generate a new activation code, manufacturer remote codes aren’t part of the standard workflow, and ATC does not issue activation codes, so reaching out to OCC is the appropriate and safe path.
