1Under SLCAR Part 6A and ICAO Annex 6 cabin safety standards, what is the minimum required ratio of cabin crew members to passenger seats on commercial air transport aircraft?

A.1 cabin crew member for every 50 passenger seats or fraction thereof

B.1 cabin crew member for every 30 passenger seats or fraction thereof

C.1 cabin crew member for every 75 passenger seats or fraction thereof

D.2 cabin crew members for every 100 passengers on board regardless of seating capacity

Explanation: ICAO Annex 6 Part I, reflected in SLCAR Part 6A, sets the minimum cabin crew complement at one cabin crew member for every 50 passenger seats, or fraction of 50, installed on the same deck, so that a full evacuation can be conducted. Operators may be required to carry more crew than this minimum under their approved operations specifications.

2During which phase of flight is the 'Sterile Flight Deck' policy in effect under standard SLCAA civil aviation operating procedures?

A.During all flight operations below 10,000 feet altitude, taxi, takeoff, and landing

B.Only during final approach and touchdown on the runway

C.From engine start at the departure gate until reaching cruising altitude

D.Exclusively when bad weather or severe turbulence is declared by the PIC

Explanation: The Sterile Flight Deck policy restricts cabin crew from contacting the flight deck during critical phases of flight—specifically below 10,000 feet, including taxi, takeoff, and landing—unless there is an urgent safety or security emergency.

3When must the mandatory passenger pre-flight safety briefing be conducted by the cabin crew?

A.Before takeoff on every flight leg, prior to or during aircraft pushback/taxi

B.Only on international long-haul flights or flights over 2 hours in duration

C.Once at the beginning of the day for multi-leg flights with the same passengers

D.Immediately after reaching 10,000 feet cruising altitude

Explanation: Under SLCAR Part 1A and ICAO Doc 10002, cabin crew must deliver an audible and visual safety briefing to all passengers before every takeoff.

4Who holds ultimate authority and command over the safety of the aircraft, crew, and passengers during flight operations?

A.The Pilot in Command (PIC / Commander)

B.The Senior Cabin Crew Member (SCCM)

C.The airline Director of Flight Operations

D.The SLCAA Ground Operations Inspector

Explanation: According to SLCAR regulations and international aviation law, the Pilot in Command (PIC) possesses final authority regarding the operation and safety of the aircraft and all persons on board.

5What is the primary operational role of the Senior Cabin Crew Member (SCCM / Purser)?

A.To coordinate cabin safety procedures, supervise cabin crew, and maintain communication with the flight deck

B.To perform aircraft maintenance checks and inspect flight deck instruments

C.To calculate flight fuel burn and approve dispatch clearance documents

D.To manage airline passenger ticketing and airport security screening

Explanation: The SCCM is responsible to the Commander for overall management, coordination, and execution of cabin safety, emergency procedures, and service delivery.

6What is the standard validity period for cabin crew recurrent safety and emergency procedures (SEP) training under SLCAA regulations?

A.12 calendar months plus a grace period to the end of the month

B.24 calendar months from the date of the last line check

C.6 calendar months with quarterly online refreshes

D.36 calendar months contingent on continuous flying hours

Explanation: Cabin crew qualification recurrent training and checking is valid for 12 calendar months, requiring annual re-certification to maintain operational status.

7Which passenger criteria MUST be met to permit seating in an emergency exit row under SLCAA guidelines?

A.Must be an able-bodied adult (at least 15 years old), willing and physically capable to assist crew during an evacuation

B.Must be travelling with an infant to keep the aisle clear of extra loose items

C.Must be an elderly passenger requiring close supervision near cabin doors

D.Must be a passenger with physical disabilities who needs additional legroom

Explanation: Exit row passengers must be Able-Bodied Passengers (ABPs)—at least 15 years old, capable of understanding instructions, and physically able to open emergency exits and clear obstructions.

8What immediate action must cabin crew take if a passenger seated in an emergency exit row states they are unwilling to operate the exit in an emergency?

A.Reseat the passenger to a non-exit row seat and move a willing Able-Bodied Passenger into the exit row

B.Explain the exit procedure again and compel the passenger to remain in the exit seat

C.Report the passenger to airport security for refusal of safety instructions

D.Leave the seat empty and block off the entire exit row row during flight

Explanation: Seating in an exit row requires voluntary willingness to assist. If a passenger is unwilling, crew must immediately reassign them to a standard seat and replace them with a qualified ABP.

9Under what circumstance may cabin crew contact the flight deck during the Sterile Flight Deck phase?

A.In the event of an emergency, fire, severe medical distress, security threat, or abnormal condition affecting flight safety

B.To report routine passenger meal preferences or duty-free inventory queries

C.To ask the flight deck for the estimated arrival time for ground connections

D.Whenever a passenger requests an update on weather conditions at the destination

Explanation: The sterile flight deck policy explicitly permits interphone contact for safety-critical emergencies such as fire, smoke, cabin depressurization, medical emergencies, or security breaches.

10When must cabin crew complete their pre-flight checks of emergency equipment in their assigned cabin stations?

A.Prior to passenger boarding

B.Immediately after passenger boarding is completed

C.During taxi prior to takeoff

D.After the aircraft reaches cruising altitude

Explanation: Pre-flight emergency equipment checks must be conducted prior to passenger boarding to ensure all safety equipment is present, operational, and accessible before passengers enter the aircraft.
