Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs)
Edited By Matthew C. Keegan
(a) No person may operate an airplane unless at least the following number of flight attendants are on board the airplane:
(2) For
airplanes having more than 50 but less than 101 passengers on board, two flight
attendants. (3) For
airplanes having more than 100 passengers on board, two flight attendants plus
one additional flight attendant for each unit (or part of a unit) of 50
passengers above 100. (b) No person may serve as a flight attendant on an airplane when required by paragraph (a) of this section unless that person has demonstrated to the pilot in command familiarity with the necessary functions to be performed in an emergency or a situation requiring emergency evacuation and is capable of using the emergency equipment installed on that airplane.
Amdt. 91-280, Eff. 11/17/2003
Comments: Without exception any aircraft configured with a minimum of 20 pax seats must have a flight attendant onboard when flying on a Part 91 aircraft. The number of flight attendants onboard increases incrementally with a larger pax seat configuration. Boeing's BBJ and Airbus' A319 are two of the newer aircraft on the market that meet this requirement although some air carriers circumvent the requirement by outfitting the aircraft with 19 or less seats. |
