Immediately after cabin crew move to demonstration positions, which action occurs next in the sequence?

• A. CSM's PA
• B. Review briefing cards with passengers as necessary
• C. Secure galleys and stow loose items/equipment
• D. Captain's PA

Answer: (D)

The sequence hinges on who speaks to passengers and when. Immediately after cabin crew move to their demonstration positions, the Captain’s public address is given. This formal cue signals that the safety briefing is about to begin and directs passengers to pay attention to the safety demonstrations and follow the crew’s instructions. It provides the authoritative start for the operation, aligning the crew and passengers for the procedure to come. The other steps aren’t the immediate next action: the CSM’s announcement would not initiate the safety briefing, reviewing briefing cards happens as needed but doesn’t start the briefing, and securing galleys and stowage is a cabin-prep task usually completed earlier or in parallel, not the immediate next step after positioning for the demonstration.
