If turnover time exceeds 90 minutes, the crew is required to

• A. Stay onboard the aircraft
• B. Get off the aircraft
• C. Contact operations
• D. Notify supervisor

Answer: (B)

When the turnaround time stretches beyond 90 minutes, the rule is to deplane the crew. This helps manage fatigue and keeps performance at a safe, high level for the next flight. Being on the aircraft for such a long idle period can wear down alertness and comfort, so stepping off allows crew to rest, hydrate, and reset away from the cabin environment. They can reboard later with a refreshed readiness for safety-critical duties. Staying on board wouldn’t address the fatigue risk and isn’t the intended action, while contacting operations or notifying a supervisor are steps you might take as part of handling the delay, but the required action when the 90-minute mark is exceeded is to get off the aircraft.
