API 2 corresponds to which description?

Explanation:
API numbers categorize aircrew by their mission duties rather than the aircraft’s basic role. API 2 identifies the non-flying crew members who handle navigation, sensor or combat systems operation, and overall mission monitoring—roles like Navigator, Combat Systems Officer (CSO), or Observer. These specialists support the flight from specialized stations while the pilot focuses on flying the aircraft. The other descriptions describe the pilot role, a vague “front end crew” label, or staff/supervisory positions that aren’t the mission-focused aircrew function assigned to API 2.
