What is the minimum crew on the 767-300ER 76L/Z (4 doors)?

• A. 5
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 7

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how a flight’s minimum crew is determined by both flight and cabin requirements for a given aircraft configuration. Two pilots are always needed to operate the aircraft, but the number of cabin attendants (the crew in the cabin) is driven by safety and evacuation needs for the cabin layout and passenger capacity. For the 767-300ER with four doors, the certification and operation rules require enough cabin attendants to adequately cover the cabin, conduct safety duties, and assist in an evacuation if needed. In this configuration, that minimum is three cabin attendants. Put together with the two pilots, the total minimum crew becomes five. Choosing fewer cabin crew would not meet those safety/operational requirements, while more would exceed the minimum but isn’t necessary for this setup.
