What is the role of the cabin crew in abnormal situations?

• A. To perform flight planning.
• B. To repair aircraft.
• C. To operate the landing gear.
• D. To ensure passenger safety, give instructions, and assist the cockpit as required.

Answer: (D)

In abnormal situations, the priority is passenger safety and orderly response. Cabin crew are trained to keep people calm, provide clear, concise instructions, and carry out emergency procedures as needed. They guide passengers to brace, evacuate, or move to safe areas, assist with first aid, and coordinate with the cockpit to follow the pilots’ instructions and support any required actions. This role centers on protecting lives on board and facilitating the crew’s teamwork with the pilots.

Flight planning, repairs, and operating the landing gear are not responsibilities of cabin crew; those tasks belong to other parts of the flight team or maintenance.
