Which documents provide official duties and emergency procedures for SkyWest flight attendants?

• A. The Aircraft Maintenance Manual
• B. The Flight Attendant Handbook (FAM) and the Emergency Procedures Manual, in conjunction with Part 121 regulations
• C. The Operations Control Manual
• D. The Flight Deck Procedures Manual

Answer: (B)

This item tests knowing which documents govern what flight attendants must do and how to handle emergencies. The Flight Attendant Handbook (FAM) explains the duties, service standards, safety responsibilities, and crew coordination required during all phases of flight. The Emergency Procedures Manual gives the exact, step-by-step actions to take in in-flight emergencies, including evacuations and medical or firefighting scenarios. Both are written to comply with Part 121 regulations, which provide the regulatory framework for crew duties and emergency procedures. Together, they represent the official reference for cabin crew duties and procedures. The Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Operations Control Manual, and Flight Deck Procedures Manual cover maintenance, operations control, and cockpit procedures respectively, and do not provide the official cabin crew duties and emergency procedures.
