How many flight attendants are required to be on an aircraft with 51 seats?

• A. 1
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 2

Answer: (D)

Staffing is based on a simple ratio: one flight attendant for every 50 passenger seats, rounded up to cover any remaining seats. Apply this by dividing the total seats by 50 and rounding up. For 51 seats, 51 divided by 50 equals 1.02, which rounds up to 2. So two flight attendants are required to ensure passenger safety and provide adequate service across the cabin. One would not meet the requirement for more than 50 seats, while three or four would exceed the minimum needed for this seat count.
