During a lightning advisory at selected YYZ gates, cabin crew may be required to open the cabin door if Captain requests and ground staff avoid contact with the exterior.

• A. Only daytime
• B. True
• C. Only if on the ground
• D. False

Answer: (B)

During a lightning advisory, the Captain has authority to direct actions at the gate to support safety and ground operations. If the Captain requests that the door be opened and ground staff are instructed to stay clear of the exterior to minimize exposure to lightning or electrical arcing, cabin crew may be asked to open the cabin door. This reflects how authorized guidance and safety precautions can require specific actions even at the gate, as long as ground personnel keep away from the exterior. The situation is not about time of day, and it’s not an absolute rule against opening doors—it's about following the Captain’s directive under safety precautions. Hence, the statement is true.
