Which two flight attendants retrieve ELTs on 787 aircraft?

• A. FA1 and FA3
• B. FA2 and FA3
• C. FA1 and FA2
• D. FA3 and FA4

Answer: (A)

Retrieving the ELT is an emergency equipment task assigned to the two flight attendants whose positions give them the quickest access to the ELT compartment. On the 787, FA1 and FA3 are the attendants designated for this role because they are the ones closest to the ELT storage area and can reach it without delaying other duties. This setup ensures the ELT can be located, retrieved, and armed promptly during an emergency. The other attendants are positioned for different duties and may not have immediate access to the ELT, so they’re not the ones assigned to retrieve it.
