Which is an example of an additional required duty item?

• A. Wings
• B. FAOM
• C. Passport
• D. United Badge

Answer: (A)

An additional required duty item is something you must have or wear that directly enables you to perform your flight duties. Wings fit this because they are the insignia that certify your qualification and authorize you to operate in the flying role; they are typically displayed on the uniform as part of the credential you must carry with you during duty. This makes wings the clear example of a duty-specific item that goes beyond a general document or identification.

FAOM is a reference manual used for procedures, not something worn or carried as part of the duty gear. A passport is a travel document essential for international travel, but it doesn’t authorize you to perform the flight duties themselves. A United Badge is an identification credential for access, but it serves primarily as ID rather than the credential that enables you to perform the flight duties.
