Which FA preflights the CAP?

Which FA preflights the CAP?

• A. FA2
• B. FA1
• C. FA3
• D. FA4

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that the person responsible for preflighting a given cabin panel is the flight attendant who staffs the zone where that panel is located. The CAP, or Cabin Attendant Panel, is in the forward cabin area and is used to call crew, control lighting, and handle cabin announcements for that zone. The flight attendant assigned to the forward cabin is the one who preflights this panel, verifying it powers up correctly and that all call circuits and indicators operate as expected. This zonal responsibility matches how duties are divided between FAs, so the forward cabin crew member is the best choice to preflight the CAP. The other flight attendants handle panels in their respective zones, so they don’t perform the CAP preflight.
