Which action is part of terminating a flight?

• A. Close out and seal the inflight sales report
• B. Update the flight plan
• C. Remove all ice from the cart
• D. Lock the galley

Answer: (A)

Ending a flight involves wrapping up operations, finalizing records, and securing the aircraft for the next leg. Closing out and sealing the inflight sales report is the key end-of-flight task because it finalizes the day’s revenue and creates a verifiable record for accounting and audits. It ensures the sales data cannot be altered after the flight and provides a clear trail for reconciliation with cash, inventory, and onboard services.

Updating the flight plan happens earlier in the journey, as a planning or navigation activity. Removing ice from the cart is a maintenance/clean-up task tied to service readiness. Locking the galley is a security or cabin-closure step that isn’t the primary end-of-flight duty.
