What should a pilot do upon spotting a worker in the field designated for spraying?

When a pilot spots a worker in the field designated for spraying, it is crucial to prioritize safety. Delaying the application until the field is clear ensures that the worker is not exposed to potentially harmful chemicals during the spraying process. A worker's presence in the area creates a significant risk, as many aerial application substances can pose health hazards.

By postponing the application, the pilot allows the worker to leave the area safely, and this action aligns with best practices and regulations designed to protect human health and safety. It not only demonstrates responsibility but also fosters awareness of the environmental and occupational safety concerns inherent in aerial application operations.

Ensuring that no one is in the vicinity before proceeding with the application helps maintain compliance with safety standards and minimizes the risk of accidents or chemical exposure.
