If movement is allowed to resume after signaling to inspect for overheated journal, which condition must be satisfied?

• A. All items listed in the overheated journal checklist must be in place to verify safe movement
• B. Movement can resume immediately
• C. Only a visual check is required
• D. The crew must call dispatcher prior to resuming

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is that resuming movement after signaling to inspect an overheated journal requires completing the full overheated journal checklist to verify safe movement. This checklist is there to ensure every potential risk is addressed—cooling status, integrity of the journal and related parts, lubrication, proper clearances, and any corrective actions taken. Only when every item on that checklist is satisfied can you be confident that proceeding won’t reintroduce a hidden hazard.

Moving immediately would bypass critical safety checks. A visual check alone might miss internal damage or heat-related issues not visible on the outside. While coordinating with the dispatcher is important in routine operations, the condition for resuming in this scenario is that all checklist items be in place to verify safe movement.
