Can crew rest areas be occupied for TTL?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only on long flights
• D. Not specified

Answer: (B)

The idea is that crew rest areas are designated for rest and should not be used while the aircraft is in a period where crew duties are required or where quick access to the flight deck and cabin crew actions is needed. TTL implies a time when crew must be available to perform duties or respond to operations, so occupying the rest area would prevent that readiness and could interfere with safety and emergency procedures. Because of these safety and operational requirements, crew rest areas cannot be used for TTL. On long flights, the same rule applies—the rest area is for rest during approved rest periods, not for TTL duties.
