How long is the time available for SEP and security checks on short haul flights?

• A. 5 mins
• B. 7 mins
• C. 10 mins
• D. 12 mins

Answer: (B)

Seven minutes. Short-haul turnarounds are tight, so cabin crew must rapidly complete both the safety equipment checks and the security verifications between arrival and departure. This seven-minute window is the standard target to ensure all safety gear is present and serviceable, the cabin is secure, any required security checks are completed, and doors can be closed in time for boarding. A shorter window would be too rushed to cover everything, while longer times would threaten the on-time departure.
