Who retrieves the ELTs on the 787s?

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

Answer: (B)

In this topic, specific crew duties are assigned to ensure emergency equipment is handled quickly and safely. For the 787, the two flight attendants on the left side of the aircraft are designated to retrieve the ELT. Those positions are the forward-left and aft-left attendants, so the two left-side crew members are responsible for accessing and pulling the ELT from its stowage and bringing it to the appropriate area. That’s why the correct pairing is the two left-side attendants. The other pairings would imply relying on crew members who don’t have that left-side ELT access, which isn’t how the duties are structured for rapid retrieval.
