In the process of working you accidentally damage or tear the flight progress strip. To obtain a new one from the computer you should enter ________.

• A. an SR message
• B. an RS message
• C. the flight plan again
• D. submit a new flight plan with updated data

Answer: (A)

When a flight progress strip is damaged, you replace it by telling the computer to print a fresh one using a Strip Request (SR) message. This command specifically prompts the system to issue a new strip for the aircraft with up-to-date, legible data, so you can continue tracking the flight accurately. The other actions wouldn’t trigger a new printed strip: a different type of message wouldn’t replace the strip, and re-entering or submitting a new flight plan would create or modify data rather than providing a clean replacement strip. So, the correct procedure is to enter a Strip Request to obtain a new strip from the computer.
