The final preflight walk-through should be finished during which phase?

• A. During boarding
• B. Before boarding begins
• C. After boarding begins
• D. After engine start

Answer: (C)

The final preflight walk-around is the last exterior safety check you perform before the aircraft moves, and it should be completed after boarding has begun. Doing it during boarding allows you to verify that nothing has changed since the earlier checks and that no hazards have been introduced while passengers are boarding, service vehicles are moving around, or doors and cargo compartments are being accessed. It ensures the aircraft is still safe for taxi and takeoff before engine start and pushback, rather than leaving the check until after engine start or performing it too early before passengers even board.
