Which item is not contained in the depart turn timeline?

• A. Gate Closure
• B. Crew Schedule
• C. Standard Load Capacity
• D. Passenger Count

Answer: (C)

In the depart turn timeline, the focus is on actions that get the plane ready to leave: closing the gate marks the end of boarding and secures the aircraft for pushback; confirming the crew schedule ensures the required crew members are present and ready; and performing a passenger count verifies everyone is onboard and accounted for before departure. Standard load capacity, on the other hand, is a fixed specification of the aircraft’s payload limit used for planning and weight-balance calculations, not an operational step that happens during the turnaround. It isn’t an action or checkpoint in the sequence of events used to turn the aircraft for departure.
