British Airways (BA) SEP Practice Exam

During fueling with passengers on board, safety hinges on keeping the right level of crew presence and clear, controlled communication. The minimum number of cabin crew must stay on board to handle any issues and to assist passengers if needed, and the Senior Cabin Crew Member should remain near the boarding door to supervise, coordinate with the crew, and ensure quick access to the cabin and exits. All primary and secondary exits must be unobstructed so a rapid evacuation could be mounted if an emergency were to arise. The passenger announcement system needs to be serviceable so the crew can keep passengers informed and compliant, and refuelling announcements should be delivered so everyone understands the procedure and safety expectations. The Fasten Seat Belt signs should remain off during fuelling because the aircraft is stationary and there is no requirement to enforce belt compliance during this phase, reducing confusion for passengers. This combination of requirements keeps the cabin under safe, orderly oversight while fueling.
