Which group is ABP shorthand for?

• A. Able-Bodied Passenger
• B. Active Bodied Passenger
• C. Active Backup Passenger
• D. Able-Bodied Person

Answer: (A)

ABP stands for Able-Bodied Passenger, a term used in airline safety to identify passengers who are physically capable of assisting crew and others in an emergency. This designation helps cabin crew plan evacuations and assign tasks, such as guiding others, moving to safety, or helping operate exit paths. The other phrasings don’t fit the established terminology: they use terms like “Active” or substitute “Person” for “Passenger,” which aren’t the standard shorthand used in aviation safety. Therefore, the correct understanding is that ABP refers to an Able-Bodied Passenger.
