Where must an ABP be situated if they have needed to take an incapacitated primaries role?

• A. R1
• B. Front cabin near door
• C. Overwing exit
• D. Rear cabin behind the row

Answer: (A)

In an emergency, an ABP who must step into a primary evacuee’s role has to be in a position that allows immediate action at the exit they would use. Being situated at the forward exit area, near the main door, gives instant access to open and operate the door, guide passengers, and assist the incapacitated evacuee without delay. Being seated farther from the door or at a different exit would slow the evacuation and complicate the process, so the closest, most practical location for rapid deployment is the forward exit area.
