Which term describes a seat used by crew in the cabin and an observer in the cockpit, which can fold?

• A. Jumpseat
• B. Flight Attendant
• C. Ground Instructor
• D. InFlight Operations

Answer: (A)

Jumpseat is a foldable seat used by crew in the cabin and by an observer in the cockpit. It’s designed to be stowed away when not in use, keeping aisles clear, and is mounted so it can be folded or swiveled into place. It’s equipped with a safety belt and sometimes a shoulder harness, making it suitable for use during taxi, takeoff, and landing or for training and observation. The other options refer to people or roles rather than a type of seat, so they don’t fit the description.
