When does time start for AMG emplacement?

• A. When AMG Is Positioned and Oriented With 0.5 Degree Roll
• B. When the Crew Is Notified
• C. When Engine Starts
• D. When the Battery Is Connected

Answer: (A)

Time starts when the AMG is physically placed and leveled with a roll of no more than 0.5 degrees. This moment captures the point at which the system is actually in its proper emplacement posture, ready for accurate alignment and subsequent operations. Until the platform is moved into position and oriented within that tight roll tolerance, you can’t reliably begin timing, because any remaining setup and alignment work hasn’t been completed.

Thinking through the other actions helps show why this moment is the trigger: simply notifying crew, starting the engine, or connecting the battery are preparatory steps that don’t by themselves place the equipment in its final, operational orientation. The key factor for starting the emplacement timer is achieving the precise physical arrangement and alignment, which the 0.5-degree roll requirement guarantees.
