The situation tests who has authority to enforce safety limits on approach operations when PALS certification and verification boundaries are exceeded. PALS sets explicit limits for conditions like Wind Over Deck and deck motion; when those limits are surpassed, continuing Mode I approaches would be unsafe. The person responsible for overseeing PALS certification and verification and ensuring compliance with those limits is the CCA Officer. That role carries the authority to suspend Mode I approaches to protect safety and to ensure that only approaches conducted within certified, verified limits are allowed. The other roles may oversee deck safety or program administration, but suspending approaches once the restrictions are breached falls to the CCA Officer.
