In a time available emergency, a buddy system will be set up for the forward cabin by whom?

• A. No 1 & No 4
• B. No 2 & No 3
• C. No 1
• D. No 4

Answer: (A)

Two crew members designated to the forward cabin are responsible for establishing the buddy system in a time-available emergency. This pairing ensures continuous coverage, redundancy, and clear, coordinated action in the forward section. With two people in place, they can monitor seats, aid passengers, verify door status, and communicate with the rest of the crew quickly, which is essential when time is limited. A single person or a combination that excludes the forward-cabin pair would leave gaps in supervision and complicate evacuation readiness. Therefore, the procedure is to have the two forward-cabin crew members set up the buddy system.
