What is the FAA minimum crew on the 777-200ER?

• A. 8
• B. 6
• C. 10
• D. 12

Answer: (A)

The question tests how the FAA determines minimum crew based on passenger seating. The rule is one flight attendant for every 50 seats, or a fraction thereof. On a 777-200ER, configurations commonly sit around 270–300 passengers, which requires six flight attendants (since 270/50 = 5.4, rounds up to 6). Add the two pilots, and the total minimum crew is eight. So the smallest legally required crew for this airplane is eight people. Airlines can staff more for service or safety, but eight is the regulatory floor.
