Which emergency notification is used by the Captain to contact the CC?

• A. Captain gives PA "No 1 to the flight deck"
• B. Captain shouts "Emergency, evacuate now"
• C. Captain broadcasts "All passengers to their seats"
• D. Captain says "Flight deck, prepare for landing"

Answer: (A)

In an emergency, quick, private coordination between the cockpit and cabin crew is crucial. The captain uses a specific interphone call to alert and mobilize the cabin crew, so actions can be organized without exposing passengers to routine announcements. Saying “No 1 to the flight deck” signals using the No 1 interphone channel to establish contact with the crew and initiate their emergency procedures. This channelized approach is faster and clearer than messages intended for passengers or instructions directed only to the flight deck, which is why it’s the best choice for notifying the cabin crew in an emergency.
