Which item is the clothing requirement for ground crew?

• A. Head and neck protection
• B. Eye and ear protection
• C. Clothing (sleeves down and top buttoned/zipped)
• D. Flotation equipment (life vest) (shipboard operations)

Answer: (C)

For ground crew, the focus is on clothing that keeps skin protected and prevents loose fabric from getting snagged in equipment. Wearing sleeves down with the top buttoned or zipped ensures the arms stay covered and the garment remains secured during movement around aircraft and ground gear, reducing risks from abrasion, heat, or catching on moving parts. Other protections like head/neck or eye/ear gear address different hazards, and flotation devices are for shipboard operations, not typical ground-crew tasks. So, the clothing requirement described is the covered, secured garment with sleeves down and the top buttoned or zipped.
