  4. DAs soon as practicable after landing but no later than 24 hours after the last reported ETA.Correct answer

Why this is the answer

Per CAR 602.77, where no SAR initiation time is specified in a flight itinerary, the arrival must be reported to the responsible person as soon as practicable after landing but no later than 24 hours after the last reported ETA — the 24-hour window is unique to itineraries.
