Which term refers to a collapsible seat in the cabin or flight deck, used by the flight attendant in the cabin and an observer in the flight deck?

• A. A fixed seating arrangement in the cockpit
• B. A bench seat at the rear of the cabin
• C. Collapsible seat in the cabin or flight deck, for use by the flight attendant in the cabin and an observer in the flight deck
• D. A life raft storage

Answer: (C)

Jump seat is the term. A jump seat is a collapsible seat that folds away into a wall or structure in either the cabin or near the flight deck, designed for crew use when needed. Flight attendants use it in the cabin to move around and assist passengers while remaining seated, and an observer in the flight deck can sit there for visibility or supervision. Its collapsible nature keeps aisles clear and maximizes space when the seat isn’t in use, and it typically has a safety belt. The other descriptions don’t fit because they describe a fixed cockpit seat, a nonfolding rear bench, or storage for life rafts—none of which match a foldaway crew seat intended for temporary use by cabin crew and flight deck observers.
