In the context of inflight safety, who should be consulted regarding safety equipment replacements when requested by a passenger?

• A. Coordinate with the Purser to check inventory and provide replacement per safety policy.
• B. Coordinate with the Captain to check inventory.
• C. Coordinate with the Flight Attendant to check inventory.
• D. Coordinate with Ground Crew to check inventory.

Answer: (A)

Inflight safety equipment changes are managed through the cabin leadership and policy guidance. The Purser is the person in charge of cabin safety operations and inventory, so they are the appropriate point of contact to verify what is on board, ensure the replacement meets safety policy, and authorize providing the correct item to the passenger. This keeps replacements standardized, compliant, and properly documented.

The Captain oversees flight operations but does not handle on-board equipment inventory. Flight Attendants can check what is available, but the final coordination and authorization for a safety equipment replacement come from the Purser. Ground Crew are not involved in midflight equipment replacements.
