Which statement best describes the cross-check procedure?

• A. Verify door status only
• B. Cross-check including walking to opposite door and visually checking armed indicators
• C. Arm door(s) only
• D. Confirm door is armed to the In-Charge Flight Attendant

Answer: (B)

Cross-checking is about verification by a second crewmember to ensure the door is properly armed and ready. The process involves moving to the opposite door and visually confirming the armed indicators, so both doors show the correct armed status and there’s no mismatch. This redundancy helps catch any mis-arming or indicator failure before an emergency. The option that includes walking to the opposite door and visually checking the armed indicators captures this essential check. Simply verifying door status alone misses the armed-state confirmation, arming only bypasses verification, and reporting to the In-Charge Flight Attendant doesn’t fulfill the peer verification step essential to cross-check.
