What is the minimum requirement for cabin crew during fuelling when passengers are on board?

• A. The minimum legal number of cabin crew required must be on board
• B. Only the SCCM is required
• C. No cabin crew is required
• D. Two cabin crew must monitor the fueling

Answer: (A)

During fueling with passengers aboard, safety rules require a minimum number of cabin crew on board. This ensures there are enough crew to monitor the cabin, brief and assist passengers, and respond quickly if an emergency arises during fueling. The SCCM alone does not satisfy this staffing level, and having no cabin crew would be unsafe. The exact minimum is defined by regulatory requirements and the operator’s procedures, not by a single fixed role, so the lawful minimum must be present.
