• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION
• D. SOMETIMES

Answer: (A)

When there are no explicit landing criteria, the decision to continue the mission is guided by safe-operations risk management and mission priorities. You evaluate whether continuing to the next waypoint or to a suitable alternate landing site can be done with acceptable risk, considering factors like weather, terrain, fuel reserves, crew fatigue, and the availability of a safe place to land if needed. If the assessment indicates that proceeding safely serves the mission goals without compromising safety, continuing is appropriate. If, however, continuing would push risk beyond acceptable limits or no safe landing option is available, you would abort or redirect. In short, the absence of a landing criterion does not force a landing or mandate stopping; it allows continuation if it can be done safely.
