Which document would you find in the cockpit?

• A. Airbill
• B. Air Cargo Manifest
• C. Dangerous Cargo Manifest
• D. Air Bill

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is understanding which shipment document is carried with the aircraft for the crew. The document kept in the cockpit is the air bill (air waybill). It serves as the contract and shipment record, listing who sent the cargo, who will receive it, flight details, routing, weights, piece counts, and other important details. Pilots and flight crews need this document to verify the cargo and coordinate with dispatch and authorities during the flight and at arrival. Ground-handling documents like the cargo manifest are used by loaders and ground personnel, and the dangerous cargo manifest is specifically for safety handling of hazardous goods, not the primary cockpit reference. While you may see variants in terminology, the standard cockpit document is the air bill.
