Are passengers permitted in the flight deck during flight?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only during take-off
• D. Only with Captain's permission

Answer: (B)

Access to the flight deck during flight is restricted for safety and security reasons. The cockpit door is reinforced and kept closed and locked, and only authorized crew members may enter. Passengers are not allowed in the flight deck at any point in flight because allowing access could distract pilots or compromise security. The idea of being allowed with permission or only during certain phases doesn’t fit the standard practice. Even if a passenger asks or a captain approves, the policy remains to keep the flight deck off limits to passengers during flight. Passengers may be near the flight deck only in ground procedures or emergencies under very specific, controlled circumstances.
