What situation does NOT require a mandatory waveoff?

The situation that does not require a mandatory waveoff is when more than 30° of bank angle (AOB) is used to establish on final approach. This maneuver is often a tactical decision made by pilots in specific circumstances, such as when adjusting for crosswinds or other factors affecting the approach path. While exceeding 30° AOB may be considered outside standard operating procedures, it does not inherently indicate a critical situation that warrants an automatic waveoff.

In contrast, the other situations—stick shaker activation before the flare, uncontrollable drift during the flare, and being externally directed to waveoff—are critical scenarios that require immediate action to ensure safety. Stick shaker activation indicates an impending stall, which requires the pilot to take corrective action, while uncontrollable drift during the flare suggests that the aircraft is not in a safe position to land. Being externally directed to waveoff typically indicates instructions from air traffic control or other personnel, emphasizing the need for immediate compliance for safety reasons.
