NOTOC stands for which phrase?

• A. Notification to Captain about the transportation of dangerous goods
• B. Notations Of Cabin
• C. Notice Of Cargo
• D. Notification Of Crew

Answer: (A)

NOTOC is the Notification to Captain about the transport of dangerous goods. In aviation and air cargo, this notice is given to inform the pilot in command about hazardous materials on board, so the captain can assess risks, ensure proper handling and labeling, and follow emergency procedures if needed. It provides essential details about what dangerous goods are on the aircraft and any special requirements, helping the crew manage safety from loading through flight. The other phrases don’t reflect this formal alert: they describe generic or unrelated notes about cabins, cargo, or crew.
