What should an RCO do if they notice an issue with the RCT communication system?

If an RCO notices an issue with the Remote Control Technology (RCT) communication system, the most appropriate action to take is to immediately contact support. This response is crucial because communication systems are integral to the successful operation and safety of remote control operations. Timely reporting ensures that any potential problems can be addressed before they escalate into more serious issues that could compromise safety or operational integrity.

By contacting support right away, the RCO allows technical teams to diagnose and resolve the problem, reducing downtime and ensuring that the operation can proceed smoothly. This immediate action is also critical in maintaining compliance with operational protocols and safety regulations, which could be jeopardized if issues are left unaddressed or ignored.

While documenting the issue is important for future reference and can be part of a comprehensive maintenance and tracking strategy, the priority in this scenario is to ensure that communication is restored as quickly as possible to avoid any risks associated with disrupted operations.
