Which code denotes a wheelchair with manual power?

• A. AVIH
• B. PETC
• C. WCMP
• D. WCOB

Answer: (C)

The important idea is how codes describe passenger mobility equipment. Wheelchairs use a WC prefix, and the suffix tells you how they are powered. MP stands for manual propulsion, meaning the chair is not powered by a motor. So the code WCMP identifies a manual wheelchair. The other options refer to animals in cabin or other categories and do not describe a wheelchair’s propulsion type, so they don’t indicate a manual chair.
