Which statement correctly describes FA2's exit assignment and cross-check?

• A. Assigned exit 2L; cross check 2R
• B. Assigned exit 2R; cross check 2L
• C. Assigned exit 1L; cross check 1R
• D. Assigned exit 1R; cross check 1L

Answer: (B)

On the 737-700 (73G), exit duties are paired so that each crew member has a primary door to monitor and a partner’s door to cross-check for readiness. For FA2, the standard pairing assigns the aft-right exit (2R) as the primary door and designates the aft-left exit (2L) for cross-check. This pairing ensures both doors in the second row are covered and that each side of the aircraft is checked for readiness, creating a reliable evacuation flow. So, assigning FA2 to operate 2R and have 2L as the cross-check aligns with how the exits are organized and how the cross-check process validates that the opposite door is prepared as well. The other options place the primary door on a different location or pair, which would leave the aft doors without the proper alignment of primary and cross-check responsibilities.
