Abstract

A work area is provided for members of a flight crew that includes, but is not limited to a central module, which borders an area adapted for being closed intended for use by crewmembers to change clothes. The central module is arranged in the tail area of the aircraft cabin, and can be used for stowing trolleys. The area is closed by lateral doors, and can be used as a passageway when the doors are open.
