Who is responsible for preflighting the OFAR?

• A. FA 1
• B. FA 2
• C. FA 3
• D. FA 4

Answer: (C)

In a four-FA cabin, safety equipment and supplies have assigned preflight duties to ensure every item is checked and ready with clear ownership. The flight attendant whose position covers the area where the OFAR is located is tasked with preflighting it. In this setup, that responsibility falls to FA3. Having FA3 handle the OFAR check ensures the kit is inspected by the crew member who has direct access to it and isn’t tied up with other duties, making the check thorough and timely. The other flight attendants have their own preflight areas and tasks, so assigning the OFAR to FA3 prevents overlap and gaps. This is why FA3 is the designated person for preflighting the OFAR.
