Who would make a potential ABP?

• A. Deadheading crew members, doctors, nurses, police or military personnel – and they are able to respond to instructions.
• B. Only the flight crew.
• C. Only passengers who volunteer.
• D. Only medical staff on board.

Answer: (A)

An ABP is someone on board who can help during an evacuation, provided they are able-bodied and able to follow the crew’s instructions. This can include crew members who aren’t actively working a flight (deadheading) as well as professionals like doctors, nurses, police or military personnel. The crucial point is both the physical ability to assist and the willingness to respond to commands, so they can carry out tasks such as guiding passengers, operating doors, or aiding others. That broader pool fits best because it recognizes that capable people on board—not just the flight crew or medical staff alone—may be needed to ensure a safe evacuation.
