After the CSM briefs cabin crew on Land/Ditch prep duties, what happens next?

• A. Captain's PA
• B. Review briefing cards with passengers
• C. Cabin crew move to demonstration positions
• D. Secure galleys and stow loose items

Answer: (C)

The action sequence after a Land/Ditch prep briefing is to place cabin crew at their demonstration positions. This positioning is the practical next step because the briefing assigns each crew member a role and location so they can quickly and clearly run the passenger safety demonstration and manage the cabin in an emergency. When the crew are at their demonstration stations, they can visually and verbally guide passengers, point out brace positions, and monitor exits, ensuring orderly and effective communication if evacuation becomes necessary. The captain’s public address, reviewing briefing cards with passengers, or securing galleys and loose items are steps that occur as part of the broader prep process, but the immediate next action following the Land/Ditch briefing is for the crew to move to the demonstration positions.
