The No1 ABP briefing involves which ABPs?

• A. 1 BC/ 2DE
• B. 1 BC/ 2 DE
• C. 1 AB/ 2 CD
• D. 2 BC/ 1 DE

Answer: (A)

In this briefing, the focus is on how ABPs are assigned to specific areas for the No1 ground coordination. Two ABPs are designated, each responsible for a different area code, so the first ABP covers BC and the second ABP covers DE. This exact pairing is what the No1 briefing expects, ensuring clear coverage of key apron sectors with no overlap or gaps. If the areas were swapped or mixed between ABPs, you’d risk duplication or missing responsibilities, which would disrupt coordination during pushback, taxiing, and docking. Keeping ABP 1 with BC and ABP 2 with DE provides a straightforward, organized handover and clear lines of communication for the crew and ground staff.
