The flight crew on the ERJ-145 includes how many pilots and flight attendants?

• A. 3 pilots
• B. 2 pilots only
• C. 2 pilots and one flight attendant
• D. 1 pilot and two flight attendants

Answer: (C)

On the ERJ-145, the standard flight crew is two pilots and one flight attendant. A two-pilot team (captain and first officer) handles flight operations, autopilot management, and in-flight decision making, while a single flight attendant takes care of cabin safety, passenger service, and demonstrations for the roughly 50-seat cabin. Three pilots would be unnecessary for this aircraft size, and one pilot wouldn’t meet typical crew requirements for a commercial passenger operation of this class. A setup with two pilots and two flight attendants is more common on larger aircraft or higher-demand routes.
