  1. A dispatcher is coordinating a flight carrying unaccompanied minors (UM). Which of the following is the carrier's primary obligation during irregular operations?

    Answer: Ensure continuous supervision and contact with the responsible adult at origin and destination

    Carriers must maintain supervision of UMs and ensure the responsible adult is notified of any delays, diversions, or other irregular operations affecting the minor.

  2. What is the maximum allowable cabin altitude for a pressurized transport category aircraft under normal operating conditions per FAR 25.841?

    Answer: 8,000 feet

    FAR 25.841 requires that the cabin altitude not exceed 8,000 feet during normal operations to protect passenger health and comfort.

  3. A flight attendant reports a passenger is using a portable electronic device (PED) that may be interfering with aircraft systems. What should the crew do?

    Answer: Instruct the passenger to turn off the device and report the incident per company procedures

    The crew should immediately require the passenger to turn off the suspected device and document the incident per airline safety reporting procedures.

  4. Under IATA guidelines, what is the standard oxygen flow rate (liters/min) from a portable oxygen cylinder provided to an ill passenger in-flight?

    Answer: 2–4 L/min

    IATA and most airline medical protocols recommend 2–4 L/min for ill passengers needing supplemental oxygen in a cabin environment.

  5. Which FAR specifically requires air carriers to provide information on the location and use of life preservers when the flight route involves over-water operations?

    Answer: FAR 121.573

    FAR 121.573 requires passenger briefings on life preserver use and location for over-water operations under Part 121.

  6. A dispatcher receives a report that an aircraft's emergency evacuation slide at Door 2L failed to arm before departure. This was discovered after pushback. The correct action is:

    Answer: Coordinate return to gate immediately; a single inoperative slide is an MEL-controlled dispatch item requiring resolution

    Emergency evacuation slides are safety-critical; an unarmed slide means loss of an evacuation exit, requiring return to gate to resolve per MEL before flight.

  7. What is the primary purpose of the 'passenger count reconciliation' performed by the dispatcher before release?

    Answer: To ensure the manifest matches boarded headcount so no one is left unaccounted for in an emergency

    Accurate headcount reconciliation ensures that in an emergency, responders know exactly how many persons were on board and can confirm all are accounted for.
