Which turbulence procedure statement is correct?

• A. Move to the aisle to assist passengers
• B. Stand by the door
• C. Secure yourself
• D. Check the lavatories

Answer: (C)

The key safety action during turbulence is to secure yourself. That means fastening your seat belt low and tight and staying seated with the belt fastened. Turbulence can cause sudden, unpredictable movements, and anything that isn’t secured can become a dangerous projectile or cause you to fall, injuring yourself or others. By remaining seated and belted, you protect yourself and make it easier for the crew to manage the cabin safely. Moving to the aisle, standing by a door, or checking lavatories during turbulence increases the risk of injury because you’re exposed to sudden shifts in the aircraft’s movement and can block or be blocked by other passengers and equipment. So, securing yourself is the correct, protective action.
