A/C RIGHT (A/C R) indicates which side?

• A. The tail section
• B. Right side of the aircraft, standing in the cabin looking forward toward the flight deck. The First Officer always sits on the right side.
• C. The nose
• D. Left side

Answer: (B)

In aviation, left and right are defined from the pilot’s perspective facing forward toward the nose. So A/C RIGHT means the right-hand side of the airplane. If you’re in the cabin and you’re facing toward the flight deck (the front of the aircraft), your right side is the aircraft’s right side. This designation is used for locating doors, jumpseats, and equipment. The tail and the nose describe front/back positions, not sides, and the left side would be A/C Left. The note about the First Officer’s typical position is a common arrangement, but the main idea being tested is which side the label refers to.
