Which routes have scheduled and are more likely to require a movement credit?

• A. Supervised, dispatch, and reserve
• B. Unscheduled, immediate, and ad hoc
• C. Direct, local, and on-demand
• D. Casual, transient, and short-notice

Answer: (A)

Movement credits go to movements that are planned and formally authorized. The route set that includes supervised, dispatch, and reserve signals a movement that is arranged through official planning and control channels: supervision means a planned, overseen movement; dispatch is the formal assignment of assets to a route; and reserve indicates assets set aside for a scheduled movement. Because these movements are anticipated and documented in advance, they’re the ones most likely to require a movement credit to authorize and track them.

Movements described as unscheduled, immediate, ad hoc, or as direct, local, on-demand, or casual, transient, short-notice imply spontaneity or informal arrangements, which typically don’t go through the formal crediting process.
