In the SHELL model they refer to Livewire. What does this mean?
A. The setting in which the aviation operations take place. Includes the physical (airspace, terrain, weather, airports), economic (low-cost carrier), operational (IFR, VFR, airline, charter, military), political, and socio-cultural conditions that impact the overall operation

C. Company policies, rules, regulations, documents, checklists, manuals, placards, maps, charts, and other components that make up an organisation’s standard operating procedures (SOPs).
D. Human components that operate outside the flight deck. Includes air traffic control (ATC), cabin-crew members, dispatchers, mechanics, company management, gate personnel, government authorities, fuellers, baggage handlers, etc.
