Which action is specified for ABP involvement at No1/No2 main doors when CC are incapacitated?

• A. Remove incapacitated CC from the jump-seat and open door.
• B. Leave incapacitated CC in place and open door.
• C. Ask passengers to open the door themselves.
• D. Do not open the door under any circumstances.

Answer: (A)

If a main door needs to be opened and the crew member at that door is incapacitated, the person who can assist should first remove the incapacitated crew member from the jump-seat to clear access to the door controls. This step frees the door operating handle and ensures the escape path isn’t blocked, enabling the ABP to open the door and deploy the slide as needed. Leaving the incapacitated crew member in place could obstruct the door and delay evacuation. Passengers aren’t expected to open the door themselves, and not opening the door isn’t an option in an evacuation.
