Who fills out an IOR?

• A. All FA involved in or with knowledge of an incident
• B. Only the lead FA
• C. The pilot
• D. The supervisor

Answer: (A)

When an incident occurs, the person best placed to capture what happened is anyone who was involved or who witnessed it. An IOR is filled out by all flight attendants who were involved in the incident or have knowledge of it so the report includes every relevant fact, action taken, and observation from multiple crew perspectives. This comprehensive input is essential for accurate safety reviews and any required follow-up.

Relying on just the lead flight attendant would risk missing important details observed by others, and the pilot or supervisor aren’t the only sources of cabin information. They may oversee the operation, but the documentation needs the firsthand accounts and observations of the crew who experienced or witnessed the incident.
