📊 採点への影響: SP: 「全体→詳細→安全観点→対応」の4ステップ。SEQ: 過去形(-ed)を維持、現在形混入はStructure L3判定の主因。「appears to have + 過去分詞」で推測しながら過去を語れる。
こんな時
Role PlayやSEQで非定型状況が来た。実際の試験で出た4シナリオ(FOD / 鳥 / 無線不能 / 医療緊急)それぞれの対応フレーズ。
FOD発見時: "I would immediately close the runway, advise all traffic on frequency, and coordinate with ground crew to locate and remove the object before reopening."
「閉鎖→通報→除去確認」の3ステップ。RP-C / SP-P1で直接使える
鳥・バードストライク時: "I'd pass the bird's position to the pilot and request bird control from airfield operations. A bird strike can be extremely dangerous, so quick action is essential."
「パイロットへ通報→地上要請→危険性の説明」の流れ。Why まで言えると加点
無線不能時: "I'd make several attempts on the assigned frequency, then try the emergency frequency. If still no response, I'd apply lost comms procedures and use the light gun if the aircraft is visual."
「複数試行→緊急周波数→ロストコム手順→ライトガン」の順を崩さない(SEQ-P3)
医療緊急時: "I'd confirm the nature of the emergency with the pilot, assign priority handling, clear direct routing to the nearest suitable airfield, and alert emergency services on the ground."
「確認→優先→誘導→地上連絡」の4ステップ。SP-P1 / RP-Aのシナリオに直結
