FENCE-Out is performed when?

• A. Before entering confines
• B. After landing
• C. Before leaving confines
• D. During taxi

Answer: (C)

FENCE-Out checks the safety and readiness when crossing the boundary from a defined, controlled area to the outside. It is performed just before leaving the confines because that boundary transition is the point where you verify that the area you’ve completed work in is clear and that you have the proper clearance and awareness for what lies beyond the boundary. If you wait until after you’ve left or you perform it during taxi inside the confines, you’re not confirming the exit path at the moment you actually cross the boundary, which is when hazards or unauthorized elements could still be present. If you did it before entering the area, you’d be doing the check for an entry, not for exiting. So the moment to do FENCE-Out is right before you leave the confines.
