When FAMs are assigned to a flight, who must be notified?

• A. The PIC and cabin crewmembers
• B. The operator
• C. The passengers
• D. No one

Answer: (A)

When a flight attendant manager is assigned to a flight, the PIC and cabin crewmembers must be notified. The pilot in command is responsible for the safe operation of the flight and must know who is on the crew and their roles, including any FAM who will oversee cabin procedures or coordinate security and safety tasks. Notifying the cabin crew ensures everyone understands the chain of command and how the FAM will interface with the flight crew during boarding, in-flight operations, and emergencies. Notifying passengers or the operator at the in-cabin level isn’t necessary for this purpose, and saying no one is informed would leave the crew unprepared.
