After landing with a dropped pin at Navy, which ISS mode selector should be confirmed?

• A. Solo
• B. Auto
• C. Normal
• D. Test

Answer: (A)

When a pin has dropped, you want to ensure you’re not relying on automated sequencing or inputs that could be unreliable. Solo mode puts the Instrument Sensor Suite under direct, manual control, giving you full oversight and preventing automatic actions that might be inappropriate right after a fault or abnormal condition. Auto would try to run pre-programmed sequences based on inputs that may be compromised, Normal assumes standard automated operation, and Test is for diagnostic checks. Therefore, confirming Solo ensures the operator has immediate, hands-on control of the ISS to manage the situation safely after landing.
