Which of the following statements is NOT true?

• A. The FAA minimum crew on the 777-200ER is 6.
• B. The minimum crew on a thru flight for the 777-300ER is 5.
• C. The CCP on the 777-200ER is located above Jumpseats 1L, 2L and 4R.
• D. The lav for customers with disabilities on the 777-200ER is located at 2L.

Answer: (A)

Understanding how minimum cabin crew is determined helps you see why that statement isn’t true. The FAA certifies a specific minimum number of cabin crew for each aircraft type based on coverage of all passenger areas and required safety duties, not simply on aircraft size. For the 777-200ER in American’s fleet, the certification allows five cabin crew members as the minimum to safely operate and manage the cabin. The claim that six are required exceeds what the certification specifies, so it isn’t true. The other statements line up with the documented aircraft configuration in this training context: five is the minimum for the 777-300ER through flights, the CCP location is above the noted jumpseats, and the disabled-access lav is at 2L.
