Which phase starts with assuming the customer boarding position and ends when the last passenger boards?

• A. Boarding
• B. Door Closure
• C. Inflight
• D. Post-Flight

Answer: (A)

Boarding is the phase that begins when the crew takes their positions at the aircraft doors and begins guiding passengers onto the plane. It continues all the way until the last passenger has boarded and is seated. At that point, the doors are closed and the flight moves on to the next steps before taxi and takeoff. This phase clearly ends exactly when the final passenger boards, differentiating it from inflight (after takeoff) and post-flight (after landing) phases.
