Under 14 CFR part 121, when may non-essential communications take place below 10,000 feet?
A
In VMC conditions.
B
Before the Final Approach Fix.
C
During cruise flight.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
14 CFR 121.542 prohibits non-essential activities, including non-essential conversation, during critical phases of flight, which include all operations below 10,000 feet except cruise flight. So cruise flight below 10,000 feet is the exception; VMC or being outside the final approach fix is not.
