Which of the following is the correct source for reviewing reported cabin discrepancies?

• A. Flight manifest
• B. Safety bulletin
• C. Cabin discrepancy report
• D. Maintenance log

Answer: (C)

When reviewing reported cabin discrepancies, the cabin discrepancy report is the most appropriate source. This document is specifically created to capture issues observed in the cabin, detailing what happened, where and when it occurred, who reported it, and the exact nature of the discrepancy. It also records any immediate actions taken and the planned follow-up, providing a clear, traceable record that both cabin crew and maintenance can consult to assess impact, prioritize responses, and verify that the issue is resolved.

Other sources don’t serve the same purpose. A flight manifest lists who is on board and has no bearing on the specifics of cabin issues. A safety bulletin communicates safety information or alerts to procedures in general, not the instance-by-instance details of a reported discrepancy. A maintenance log documents actions performed by maintenance personnel, which may be related after the fact, but it isn’t the primary place for reviewing the initial report of a cabin problem.
