What is the secondary concern in a hijacking situation?

• A. Safety of passengers
• B. Coordination with authorities
• C. Prevention of damage or loss of aircraft
• D. Minimizing disruption to flight schedule

Answer: (C)

In a hijacking, saving lives is the top priority. After that immediate concern is addressed, the next focus is preventing damage or loss of the aircraft. Preserving the airframe and its systems helps avoid creating additional danger, keeps options open for a safe resolution, and minimizes escalation risks that could endanger everyone on board. Coordination with authorities and minimizing disruption are important parts of the overall response, but the immediate secondary objective is to prevent damage or loss of the aircraft.
