Eyeglasses - Eyeglasses can shatter during impact and may cause significant harm to an individual’s face and eyes. Do not secure them in any location from the neck to the waist as this can cause internal damage to organs. If the crewmember or passenger requires the eyeglasses in order to see, remove and place them in their sock, wedged into the side of the seat cushion or place in another passenger’s sock for safe keeping.


Pens/Pencils and other sharp objects - Remove all sharp objects from pockets. This includes pencils, pens and large jewelry.

Secure Cabinets - If time appropriate, secure all galley compartments and cabinets with duct tape, to reinforce the hold during a hard landing. If time is running short have an ABP assist you.


E xit Plan/Exit Review


Brief Passengers - For a second time, re-brief passengers on the exit plan. Simply point to the exit locations. Brief ABP – Train ABPs on Exit(s) Operation - If possible, physically take the ABP to the assigned exit and train them thoroughly on the operation of the exit. Train them how to assess, open and secure the exit along with the appropriate commands for that particular exit. Ensure the ABP repeats the information back to you.


Life Raft - Unlike LAND you will have to brief an ABP on the Life Raft. You will need to discuss location, attachment, exit operation, launching and inflation. The Passenger Safety briefing Card is an excellent tool to use as it has diagrams on securing and launching a life raft.


P IC Report/Pilot Report


Report Cabin Secure - After all items have been stowed and the passengers have been fully briefed, let the PIC know that the “Cabin is Secure”. This is an indication to the PIC that everything on the Checklist has been accomplished.


Where You Will Be Seated - It is important to let the pilots know where the cabin crew will be seated. This will allow them to know where to search in case of incapacitation or injury.


Confirm Commands - Verify the commands that the PIC will be using, e.g. “Brace” and “EZ Victor”.


Emergency Lighting - Ensure the emergency lights are turned on in the cabin prior to taking your seat. This will facilitate the evacuation, if required.
