Where should items not be stowed during exterior inspection?

• A. Under seat
• B. On circuit breakers
• C. Left side (FCP)
• D. All of the above

Answer: (C)

Keep that left side area clear because it houses the Flight Control Panel and related flight-control access. Anything stowed there could interfere with control movement, obscure indicators, or make it hard to reach the controls quickly during preflight checks or in an emergency. The exterior inspection aims to verify that critical flight-control areas are unobstructed and accessible, so placing items on that side is not allowed.

The other locations mentioned aren’t the area the exam focuses on for this restriction, since they pertain to different contexts (interior spaces or other components). The key point for this question is that the left side around the Flight Control Panel must remain free of stowed items.
