Aviation safety passenger assessment protocols

Overview

Flight attendants utilize boarding procedures to conduct rapid safety and security assessments of passengers. This process includes identifying Able-Bodied Passengers (ABPs)—individuals with the physical agility or professional skills, such as medical or law enforcement expertise, to assist during emergencies.

Crew members monitor various physical indicators to maintain situational awareness. This includes observing passenger footwear to ensure it does not hinder safe evacuations, as well as using eye contact and brief interactions to assess well-being. These observations help identify passengers who may be ill, intoxicated, or disoriented, as well as those requiring special assistance, such as the elderly or families with small children.
