Who must confirm the total passenger count with FA2 using the passenger count form?

• A. FA1 and the agent
• B. Captain and co-pilot
• C. Ground staff and agent
• D. Air traffic control and agent

Answer: (B)

Final confirmation of the total passenger count with FA2 using the passenger count form is a cockpit duty. The captain is in command of the flight and must verify that the number of passengers on board matches the manifest and what cabin crew reports. The co-pilot assists as the second verifier, helping to cross-check the count and sign off on it. This dual-check ensures an accurate, accountable record before departure, which is important for safety, weight and balance, and emergency preparedness. Ground staff, agents, and air traffic control aren’t responsible for this final cabin-count verification with FA2.
