How can propeller strike accidents be avoided?

By having a larger propeller
Turn off the engine when passengers are boarding
Speeding up quickly
Playing loud music

The correct answer is: Turn off the engine when passengers are boarding

Propeller strike accidents occur when the propeller of an aircraft injures a person or damages property on the ground. Having a larger propeller (A) does not necessarily prevent these accidents, as it is the rotation and movement of the propeller that causes the danger. Speeding up quickly (C) also increases the risk of propeller strike accidents, as the fast-moving propellers can cause more damage. Playing loud music (D) has no impact on propeller strike accidents. The best way to avoid these accidents is by turning off the engine when passengers are boarding (B). This prevents the propeller from rotating and eliminates the danger. It is important for pilots and ground crew to follow proper procedures to ensure the safety of all individuals near aircraft propellers.
