Which code indicates an Emergency Landing with Emergency Services Requested?

• A. 84
• B. 83
• C. 85
• D. 84D

Answer: (D)

In this coding system, a base code for an urgent aviation event is refined by a modifier that signals specific actions or requests. The base code for an emergency landing denotes that the aircraft must land urgently. When you add the D modifier, it communicates that Emergency Services are requested. So 84D precisely means an Emergency Landing with Emergency Services Requested. The plain 84 would still indicate an emergency landing, but without explicitly requesting EMS, and the other codes refer to different situations entirely.
