What is FA4 exit responsibility on A321E?

• A. 2R primary, 2L secondary
• B. 3L primary, 3R secondary
• C. 1L primary, 1R secondary
• D. 4L primary, 4R secondary

Answer: (B)

During an aircraft evacuation, each flight attendant has specific exits they are responsible for. They have a primary exit they operate first and a secondary exit they assist with if needed. This assignment aligns with where the crew member is seated and how quickly they can reach the exits, ensuring a clear and efficient evacuation flow.

For the A321E, FA4 is tasked with the aft pair of doors on the left and right sides. The primary exit for FA4 is the aft left door, with the aft right door designated as the secondary. This arrangement fits FA4’s jumpseat position and the cabin coverage needed in the rear, allowing FA4 to quickly open the left aft door and, if necessary, assist at the right aft door to move passengers efficiently.

Other exit pairings would place FA4 at doors that are either farther forward or not optimal for their location, which would slow down evacuation. So the correct assignment is the aft left as primary, with the aft right as secondary.
