Non-ambulatory passengers are described as

Non-ambulatory passengers are described as

• A. those with a disability that prevents them from boarding, deplaning and moving about the aircraft without major assistance from another person
• B. able to board unassisted
• C. able to move about the cabin unaided
• D. not requiring any assistance at all

Answer: (A)

Non-ambulatory describes passengers who cannot board, deplane, or move about the aircraft without substantial help from another person. This means they have a disability that prevents those actions unless major assistance is provided. In practice, crews arrange for support such as escorting to and from the jet bridge, or using wheelchairs or other equipment to help them reach and move around their seats. By contrast, someone who can board unassisted or move around the cabin unaided is considered ambulatory and does not fall into the non-ambulatory category. So the description that specifies a disability requiring major assistance precisely matches the intended meaning.
