Correct Answer:

Someone who has agreed to inform ATC, FSS, and Rescue Services if the aircraft is overdue

Explanation:

Under CARs, a responsible person is the designated individual in an operator’s organization who must initiate search-and-rescue coordination by informing ATC, Flight Service, and Rescue Services if the aircraft is overdue. This role is about ensuring timely notification to the right authorities to trigger the rescue process, not about maintenance or making all safety decisions. The requirement focuses on the formal duty to inform when a flight is overdue, rather than merely performing general safety actions or handling maintenance.
