When an aircraft is scheduled to remain overnight at a station.

• A. Remain Overnight (RON) - aircraft
• B. Remain Overnight (RON) - flight attendant
• C. Round Trip
• D. Tail Wind

Answer: (A)

RON stands for Remain Overnight. When an aircraft is scheduled to remain overnight at a station, the airplane stays at that station after the day’s flying to be ready for the next day’s departures. This keeps the schedule tight by avoiding unnecessary repositioning and allows planned maintenance, fueling, and crew rests to align with the next day’s flights. The term is used for the aircraft, not the flight attendant, which is why the option about the aircraft is the right one. The other terms describe a flight pattern (round trip) or weather (tail wind), and don’t convey the idea of an aircraft staying at a station overnight.
