On FAA Form 3120-25, what indicates that the report was discussed with the employee?

• A. A checkmark in Block 13
• B. Employee's comments in Block 14
• C. The employee's signature in Block 14
• D. The employee's initials in Block 10

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that the employee’s formal acknowledgement of the discussion is shown by their signature in Block 14. When the employee signs in that block, it confirms they were informed about the report and had an opportunity to discuss its contents with the supervisor. The other indicators don’t prove that a discussion occurred: a mark in Block 13 could simply record a step taken, employee comments in Block 14 show input but not necessarily that a discussion happened, and initials in Block 10 indicate review or receipt but not the actual conversation. The signature in Block 14 is the clear, official evidence that the report was discussed with the employee.
