Which factor would cause a CRJ 700's POB to deviate from the standard 2?

• A. Configuration with 70 PAX
• B. Weather conditions
• C. Flight duration
• D. Time of day

Answer: (A)

POB (persons on board) equals the total people on the aircraft, which is set by how the cabin is configured. If the CRJ 700 is configured for 70 passengers, there are more people in the cabin than the usual standard, so the POB would be higher than the baseline. The other factors listed don’t change how many people are on the airplane—they affect conditions or operations, not the actual onboard count. So the seating configuration with 70 passengers is what would cause the POB to deviate from the standard.
