In a water ditching with four flight attendants, which exit does FA1 brief and command?

• A. 1L
• B. 1R
• C. 1L/R
• D. 2R

Answer: (B)

In a ditching with four flight attendants, duties are divided so each exit has a designated commander to keep evac­uation orderly and efficient. FA1 is assigned to the forward-right door, so they’re the one to brief passengers at that exit and issue the commands to evacuate and, if needed, deploy or use the raft there. This placement provides a clear, quick line of instruction at the first door on the right and allows the other attendants to cover the remaining exits (forward-left and the two overwing exits). If the lead were assigned to a different door, coordination would become more complex and the evacuation could slow down.
