Which ABPs will the No1 brief?

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

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to brief ABPs who can most quickly assist in an emergency. No1 should identify and brief able-bodied passengers who are nearest to the forward exits so they can help direct others and clear the aircraft efficiently. In this layout, the ABPs seated in the seats closest to the two forward doors—one group on the left side and one on the right side—are in the best position to respond immediately. Briefing these ABPs (the ones in BC and DE) ensures there are trained helpers at both sides of the cabin near the exits, giving quick, practical support during an evacuation. Other ABPs farther from the exits would not be as effective in the critical moments, which is why those groups aren’t the ones chosen.
