Prior to any crewmember accessing his or her aircraft, which two items must be verified?

• A. Passport and assignment
• B. ID and assignment to aircraft
• C. Badge and duty status
• D. Name and seat number

Answer: (B)

Access to the aircraft is controlled by verifying who you are and that you’re authorized to be on that specific plane. Your ID provides positive identification—showing you are who you claim to be. The assignment to the aircraft confirms you’re scheduled and permitted to access that particular aircraft for the current flight. This pairing prevents someone from entering with a mismatched identity or without the proper aircraft assignment.

Passport is not normally used for routine crew access, and while a badge or duty status relate to access, they don’t alone guarantee both identity and authorization to the exact aircraft like ID plus assignment do.
