Free NCAA Cabin Crew Member Exam Exam Flashcards

Nig. CARs 2.5.1.3(h): the document is valid for 5 years, but the licence becomes invalid after 1 year without exercising its privileges. A licence can therefore be in date and invalid at the same time, and stays invalid until the holder's ability is re-established.

No. Nig. CARs 2.2.4.3 says Nigeria does not validate or convert Air Traffic Controller, Cabin Crew or ATSEP licences. They must complete an initial course with a Nigerian AOC holder or ATO and sit NCAA tests. Flight crew licences can be validated under 2.2.4.1.

Nig. CARs 2.5.1.3(j)(ii): refresher training acceptable to the Authority, a pass in the Cabin Crew Licence General paper, and a skill test per the CAA Skill Test Standards. Under 6 months lapsed needs only renewal evidence; over 10 years means meeting all initial issue requirements.

Nig. CARs 2.5.1.3(a)(4): the initial training course from an AOC holder or ATO must have been completed within the 12 months preceding the application date. A course finished 14 months earlier has expired. The applicant must also be at least 18 and English-proficient.

4 000 m (13 000 ft) cabin pressure altitude, under Nig. CARs 8.9.1.6. Do not confuse this with the 3 050 m (10 000 ft) MSL figure in 8.9.2.17, which only triggers the pre-take-off briefing on normal and emergency oxygen use.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.13(e) and (g): the total number of dispensing units and outlets must exceed the number of seats by at least 10%, with the extra units evenly distributed. The surplus covers occupants in aisles, galleys and lavatories when pressurisation fails.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.13(g): those operated above 25 000 ft, or which cannot descend safely to 13 000 ft within four minutes, whose individual certificate of airworthiness was first issued on or after 9 November 1998. The same 10% surplus of units applies.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.13(d)(2): sufficient spare outlets and masks, or portable oxygen units, distributed evenly through the cabin so oxygen is immediately available to each required cabin crew member wherever they are standing when pressurisation fails. Flight crew masks must be quick-donning.

Nig. CARs 8.9.1.6(d)(1): cabin crew must have a reasonable probability of retaining consciousness during the emergency descent, and additionally have protection that lets them administer first aid to passengers in stabilised flight afterwards. Passengers only need protection against the effects of hypoxia.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.15: undiluted first-aid oxygen for at least 2% of passengers carried but never fewer than one person, with no fewer than two dispensing units usable by cabin crew. Equipment must deliver at least 4 litres per minute STPD to each user.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.13: nobody may smoke, and no crew member may allow smoking, within 3 m (10 ft) of the storage and dispensing equipment. No crew member may allow anyone to connect or disconnect the equipment from a cylinder while other passengers are aboard.

Nig. CARs 7.10.1.4: at least one sign notifying when smoking is prohibited and one notifying when safety belts must be fastened, in letters or symbols, legible from every cabin seat under all probable lighting. Both must be switchable on and off by the crew.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.15: only in an approved cargo bin that withstands the passenger-seat load factors and emergency landing conditions multiplied by 1.15, using the combined mass of bin and maximum cargo. The approved maximum mass and any distribution instructions must be conspicuously marked on the bin.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.22: every item of mass in the passenger cabin, so it cannot become a hazard during taxi, take-off, landing or turbulence, and each passenger serving cart in its stowed position. Nig. CARs 8.9.2.21 separately bars food, beverages and tableware at any passenger seat.

Nig. CARs 2.5.1.3(c)(2) lists weight and balance as examinable theory of flight and aircraft operations content. Seat allocation on lightly loaded flights and where heavy baggage is stowed shift the centre of gravity, so cabin crew must apply the seating and stowage instructions that keep the aircraft within its loadsheet limits.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.1(a): readily accessible without appreciable preparation time, clearly identified and marked with its method of operation, marked with the date of last inspection, and marked as to contents when carried in a compartment or container. An item missing the inspection-date marking does not meet 7.9.1.1(a)(3).

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.2(a)(3): operating independently of the main lighting system, it must illuminate each passenger exit marking and locating sign, provide enough general cabin lighting, and, for AOC operations, include floor proximity emergency escape path marking, which guides passengers along the floor when smoke hides overhead lights.

Three. Nig. CARs 7.9.1.6(b)(5) sets the table: 7-29 seats need 1, 30-60 need 2, 61-200 need 3, 201-300 need 4, rising to 8 at 601 or more. They must be conveniently located and uniformly distributed through the compartment.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.7: it is built in, one per disposal receptacle, and discharges automatically into that receptacle when a fire occurs there. No crew action triggers it, and it protects only the receptacle, so a fire elsewhere in the lavatory still needs a hand extinguisher.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.14: not less than 15 minutes. Portable PBE must be installed adjacent to each required cabin crew duty station and additionally at or adjacent to each required hand fire extinguisher. Where that extinguisher sits inside a cargo compartment, the PBE is stowed outside the entrance.

No. Nig. CARs 7.9.1.9 applies only to aeroplanes certificated with a take-off mass of 5 700 kg or more. Where it applies, the axe must be appropriate for effective use in that aeroplane type and stored in a place not visible to passengers, which is part of the requirement, not a stowage convention.

Two. Nig. CARs 7.9.1.16(b)(2): more than 99 seats requires one at the forward end and one at the most rearward location readily accessible from a normal cabin crew seat. Aeroplanes seating 61-99 need only one, at that rearmost position.

IS 8.10.1.13(b): the protective breathing equipment and firefighting drill, and the emergency evacuation drill. Every other listed drill, including the emergency exit and hand extinguisher drills, must be performed at both initial and recurrent training under IS 8.10.1.13(c).

IS 8.10.1.13(b)(2) normally requires actually exiting the aircraft or training device by an installed evacuation slide. The Note permits the alternative of observing the exits being opened in the emergency mode and the associated slide or slide-raft pack being deployed and inflated.

IS 8.10.1.13(c)(1): pre-flight each exit type and its slide or slide raft, disarm and open each door in normal mode, close it, arm it in emergency mode, open it in emergency mode, use the manual inflation system, open each window exit, and remove and position the escape rope.

No. IS 8.10.1.13(c)(2) Note 1 says fighting an actual or simulated fire is not necessary in that drill, though the crew member must actually operate and discharge each installed type. Note 2 says discharging Halon is not appropriate unless a facility designed to prevent environmental harm is used.

IS 8.10.1.13(c)(3): manually open each type of oxygen mask compartment and deploy the masks, identify compartments holding extra masks, implement immediate action decompression procedures, administer oxygen to self, passengers and those with special needs, and reset the system where applicable.

IS 8.10.1.13(c)(5): brief with the PIC to obtain ditching information, brief the other cabin crew, co-ordinate the time frame for cabin and passenger preparation, brief passengers on ditching procedures, and secure carry-on baggage, lavatories and galleys before deploying and inflating slide rafts.

Nig. CARs 7.10.1.3(b): enough capacity for all persons on board even after losing the largest raft. Each raft carries an electric survivor locator light, a survival kit, a pyrotechnic signalling device and an ELT, and all rafts are stowed to facilitate ready use.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.4: during taxi, at their duty stations with safety belt and shoulder harness fastened, leaving only for duties related to safety. During take-off and landing, as near as practicable to required floor-level exits and uniformly distributed, so egress is most effective in an evacuation.

Two. Nig. CARs 9.3.1.7(c) requires one-half the number required for the flight, and its Note permits rounding a fraction down, so 2.5 becomes 2. The floor is never fewer than one cabin crew member or another person qualified in that aircraft's emergency evacuation procedures, spaced through the cabin per 8.9.2.4.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.17(a)(7): only when the flight is above 3 050 m (10 000 ft) MSL, and then it covers normal and emergency use. The other required items apply on every flight, including smoking limits, exits, safety belts, flotation means, fire extinguishers, seat backs and the briefing card.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.17: the PIC or co-pilot ensures they are personally briefed on the route to the most appropriate exit and on the time to begin moving to it in an emergency. Nig. CARs 8.9.2.10 separately bars seating that impedes crew duties, equipment access or evacuation.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.11: the PIC or senior cabin crew member, based on whether the passenger is likely to be unable to understand and perform the exit functions. These include reaching, grasping and manipulating the operating mechanisms and lifting out an object the size and mass of an over-wing exit.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.14: at least one required crew member must have verified that each article of baggage is properly stowed in overhead racks with approved restraining devices or doors, or in approved locations. No location may be loaded beyond its maximum placard mass limitation.

Nig. CARs 8.9.2.8: all engines shut down, at least one floor-level exit remaining open for deplaning, and at least one person immediately available who is qualified in emergency evacuation of that aircraft and who has been identified to the passengers as responsible for their safety.

Nig. CARs 8.9.1.4: the PIC ensures crew and passengers are familiar with belts, exits, life jackets, oxygen and other emergency equipment. Where cabin crew are required, the PIC may delegate the briefing but must still ascertain that it was properly conducted before take-off. Accountability does not transfer.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.12(c): each AOC holder must ensure that initial CRM training for flight operations officers and aircraft crew members is joint. A programme that trains cabin crew in isolation does not satisfy 8.10.1.12, and 8.10.1.34 likewise requires recurrent CRM to be joint with flight crew.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.34: aircraft-specific configuration, equipment and procedures; joint emergency equipment and drills with flight crew; joint CRM with flight crew and flight operations officers; recognition or transportation of dangerous goods; and security training. Two of the five are explicitly joint with the flight deck.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.28: under the supervision of a check person, a minimum of two flights on turbojet aircraft, or two flights including at least 5 hours flown on reciprocating-engine or turbopropeller aircraft. Two short turboprop sectors can meet the flight count without meeting the hours.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.34: the full initial AOC training programme in IS 8.10.1.14C plus the competency check in IS 8.10.1.24. Inactivity up to 12 months needs only recurrent ground curricula and a competency check; 12 to 60 months needs the refresher ground curricula in IS 8.10.1.34(b).

Nig. CARs 8.11.1.4: a person shall not act as a crew member in commercial air transport if they know or suspect they are suffering fatigue that may endanger the flight. The mirror duty binds the operator, who may not cause or permit that person to fly.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.11: determining the seriousness of an occurrence, crew communication and coordination, appropriate self-defence responses, use of authorised non-lethal protective devices, understanding terrorist behaviour, live situational exercises, flight deck protection procedures, and aeroplane search procedures with least-risk bomb location guidance.

Nig. CARs 15.5.1.1: the Notification to Captain, written dangerous goods information the operator gives the PIC as early as practicable before departure. A copy must be retained on the ground and readily accessible at the aerodromes of last departure and next scheduled arrival until the flight ends.

Nig. CARs 15.2.2.3: infected live animals, weapons and ammunition, explosives unless required for the aircraft's own operation, poisonous gases, infectious substances, radioactive material and similar substances, plus anything the Technical Instructions forbid in normal circumstances. This is separate from goods forbidden under any circumstances.

Not in Nig. CARs. Regulation 15.2.3.2 excepts specified passenger and crew articles only to the extent set out in the ICAO Technical Instructions, which Nig. CARs 15.2.1.4 adopts. Quote the current Technical Instructions edition for battery and article limits, never a Nig. CARs paragraph.

Nig. CARs 8.10.1.10 sets dangerous goods recurrent training at every 24 months, while 8.10.1.11 requires the approved recurrent security curriculum within 12 calendar months. Separately, 8.10.1.34 makes dangerous goods recognition and security training part of the 12-monthly cabin crew recurrent ground curricula.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.11(a): one kit up to 100 passenger seats, two for 101-200, rising to six above 500. They must be distributed evenly through the aircraft, readily accessible to cabin crew where cabin crew are required, and located near the exits for use outside the aircraft.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.11(b): one kit on any aircraft that requires a cabin crew member. Aircraft authorised to carry more than 250 passengers need two, plus any additional kits the Authority determines at times of increased public health risk, such as an outbreak of a disease with pandemic potential.

Nig. CARs 7.9.1.12: passenger flights in an aeroplane authorised to carry more than 100 passengers on a sector length of more than two hours. Both conditions must be met. It is for the use of medical doctors or other qualified persons, and must be stored in a secure location.
