Where is the Flight Deck Crew Rest Compartment (FDCRC) located on the A350?

• A. Aft of FD above 1R galley complex
• B. Fore of cockpit
• C. Aft of cockpit above 2R
• D. Above 3L galley

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is where the crew rest for the flight deck is placed in relation to the cockpit and cabin areas. On the A350, the Flight Deck Crew Rest Compartment is located behind the cockpit, tucked above the 1R galley complex. This keeps a private rest space close to the flight deck for quick access during rest periods on long flights, while isolating it from the passenger cabin to minimize noise and disturbance. Placing it forward of the cockpit would bring rest space too close to the active flight deck and disrupt privacy and access. Being behind the cockpit and above the 1R galley aligns with the cabin layout for efficient crew flow, service access, and required isolation.
