When the QR code is missing, which option correctly identifies the first step to obtain activation access?

• A. Reprint a QR code from the system
• B. Notify ATC and request a temporary activation code
• C. Use the activation code from the previous flight
• D. One crewmember contacts OCC to obtain the manual activation code specific to that aircraft

Answer: (D)

When the QR code isn’t available, the first step to gain activation access is for a crewmember to contact OCC and obtain the manual activation code specific to that aircraft. This code is issued by the Operations Control Center and is tied to the particular aircraft, ensuring secure, aircraft-specific access without the QR code. Reprinting a QR code doesn’t address the missing access data, and asking ATC for a temporary code isn’t part of the activation process. Using a previous flight’s activation code isn’t allowed because codes are not transferable between flights. The manual activation code obtained from OCC is the official, secure method to regain access for that aircraft.
