What is located in the forward FA station?

• A. PSU reading lights and door assist switch
• B. Oxygen masks and interphone
• C. Emergency exits
• D. Cabin mood lighting controls

Answer: (A)

The forward flight attendant station is the crew’s control point for the front part of the cabin, and it includes the items needed to manage that area quickly. Specifically, the PSU reading lights and the door assist switch are located there. The reading lights from the Passenger Service Unit let the FA illuminate the aisle and rows during service or boarding, while the door assist switch provides a manual control to help operate the forward door if needed. Oxygen masks are stored in the ceiling PSUs above passenger seats throughout the cabin, not at the FA station; emergency exits are the doors themselves with exit signs, and mood lighting controls are part of the cabin lighting system located elsewhere. Hence, the forward FA station houses the PSU reading lights and door assist switch.
