Who confirms the challenge and response in PF/PNF procedures?

Explanation:
In PF/PNF procedures, confirmation is done through a challenge and response to keep the crew aligned during critical actions. The pilot flying issues the directive (the challenge), and the pilot not flying provides the confirmation by repeating back or clearly stating the exact action to be taken. This cross-check helps catch any miscommunication when workload is high or distractions are present. That’s why the pilot not flying is the one who confirms. The ground crew isn’t part of the cockpit call-and-response, and while the PF initiates the instruction, the formal confirmation comes from the PNF.
