Which is NOT a minimum crew position on the A330-200?

• A. 1Li
• B. 2L
• C. 3L
• D. 4L

Answer: (D)

The key idea is how many pilots are needed to cover rest and legal requirements on a long-range A330-200. For minimum flight-deck crew, you have three pilots: the captain, the first officer, and one relief pilot to cover rest breaks on long legs. This trio covers the essential flying and rest needs, so those three cockpit positions are part of the minimum crew. The extra fourth left-seat position is not required for minimum operations. It would only be used if an augmented crew or longer-duty requirements call for more than three pilots. So the option describing the additional fourth left-seat position is not part of the minimum crew.
