If safe to do so, a flight attendant must complete a walk through if the PIC suspects interference due to a PED?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only with supervisor approval
• D. Not required

Answer: (B)

When the PIC suspects interference from a passenger’s electronic device, a quick, safe walk-through of the cabin is done to visually inspect for PEDs or devices that could be causing the issue and to observe how passengers are using them. This immediate check helps protect cockpit communications and onboard systems, and it allows the crew to take prompt corrective actions (like asking a passenger to power down or move a device away from sensitive equipment) while keeping safety as the priority. It should be performed if it can be done without risk, and it does not require supervisor approval.
