FAM stands for?

• A. Flight Attendant Manual/FAA Master
• B. Flight Attendant Manual/Federal Aviation Mission
• C. Flight Attendant Manual/Federal Air Marshal
• D. Flight Attendant Manual/Federal Administration Manual

Answer: (C)

FAM is an acronym used in aviation with more than one common meaning, and the context usually tells you which one is meant. The Flight Attendant Manual is the primary reference for the crew, outlining safety procedures, emergency steps, service rules, and cabin policies. In security discussions or onboard threat scenarios, you might also encounter FAM standing for Federal Air Marshal, a separate security role involved in deterring and addressing threats on board. The option that includes both meanings—Flight Attendant Manual and Federal Air Marshal—best reflects the two widely recognized uses of the term in flight attendant practice contexts. The other options pair Flight Attendant Manual with terms that aren’t standard or widely used together in this context.
