How many ABPs are briefed per exit on a 787?

• A. Two ABPs per exit
• B. One ABP per exit
• C. Three ABPs per exit
• D. Four ABPs per exit

Answer: (A)

Able-bodied passenger briefing per exit is designed to ensure there are enough people to operate the exit and to guide evacuees during an emergency. On the 787, two ABPs are briefed for each exit so that one can handle opening and preparing the exit (and assisting with the door/slide as needed) while the other helps direct passengers, maintain a clear path, and aid those who need help getting to safety. This dual-ABP setup provides the necessary coordination and redundancy to keep the evacuation moving efficiently. Having only one ABP per exit wouldn’t provide sufficient hands for both door operation and crowd management, while more than two isn’t required for the typical exit flow.
