Who briefs the cabin crew on Land/Ditch prep duties?

• A. Captain
• B. CSM
• C. Cabin crew themselves
• D. Passengers

Answer: (B)

The Cabin Service Manager is the one who briefs the cabin crew on Land/Ditch preparation duties. This senior cabin crew member coordinates safety procedures and assigns each crew member's responsibilities during an emergency, such as who handles each exit, who deploys or arms slides and life rafts, who communicates with the flight deck, and who briefs passengers. The Captain remains in command overall, but the detailed, task-specific briefing for the cabin crew comes from the CSM to ensure everyone knows exactly what to do. Passengers aren’t involved in this briefing, and the cabin crew don’t typically assign their own duties independently—the briefing is led by the CSM for clear, coordinated action.
