Which statement best describes the Captain's responsibilities?

• A. Responsible for the catering service
• B. Responsible for the flight attendants' training
• C. Responsible for the entire aircraft including crew and passengers
• D. Responsible for the aircraft's maintenance schedule

Answer: (C)

The Captain’s main duty is to be in command of the entire flight, with ultimate responsibility for the safety and operation of the aircraft, the crew, and the passengers. This means they oversee how the flight is conducted, make final safety decisions, and ensure all crew follow procedures. The other statements describe roles outside the Captain’s authority: catering service is handled by cabin service, training flight attendants by the airline’s training department, and the aircraft maintenance schedule by the maintenance team. So the best description is responsibility for the entire aircraft, including crew and passengers.
