For all UAX CRJ 200 flights, flight attendants must be on the aircraft a certain number of minutes before departure. How many minutes is this?

• A. Fifteen
• B. Twenty-Five
• C. Thirty-Five
• D. Forty-Five

Answer: (C)

This item tests the required lead time for flight attendants to be on the aircraft before departure. For all UAX CRJ 200 flights, flight attendants must be on board well before scheduled departure to complete essential safety checks, verify equipment, set up the cabin, and coordinate with the flight deck prior to doors closing. That lead time is just over half an hour before departure, which provides enough margin to finish these tasks and still depart on time. Arriving much closer to departure wouldn’t leave adequate time for all safety and readiness duties, while arriving far earlier would unnecessarily tie up crew resources.
