Which crew member is primarily responsible for ensuring all usable overwing exits are open?

• A. AFT FA.
• B. Purser.
• C. FO.
• D. Captain.

Answer: (A)

During an evacuation, cabin crew in charge of the aft section are the ones trained to verify and operate the exits in that area. The aft flight attendant is the primary person responsible for ensuring all usable overwing exits are open because they oversee the rear portion of the cabin and coordinate the exit readiness for those doors. They check that nothing blocks the exits, confirm the doors can be opened from inside and outside, and open them as part of the evacuation flow. The captain and FO handle flight operations from the cockpit, while the purser focuses on passenger management and cabin service; the specific task of confirming and opening overwing exits falls to the flight attendant designated to the aft section due to their training and position.
