What specific procedure must all FAs perform when disarming doors?

• A. Monitor and challenge
• B. 3Bs
• C. Visual cross check only
• D. ESCAPE

Answer: (A)

Actively monitoring the door area and verbally challenging anyone who approaches is required when disarming a door. This keeps the disarmed status secure by deterring tampering and ensuring only authorized crew are near the door as you complete the steps. Visual follow-up alone isn’t enough, because you need real-time presence and communication to prevent someone from interfering or attempting to re-arm the door. The other options don’t reflect the standard procedure for door disarming—the “monitor and challenge” approach is the practiced method to maintain safety and situational awareness at the exit.
