What is the command for impact for passengers in no time available landing?

• A. Brace, brace
• B. Head down, grab ankles, stay down
• C. Head down, cover eyes
• D. Hands on head, knees bent

Answer: (C)

When there isn’t enough time to assume the full brace position, the priority becomes protecting the head and eyes from impact and debris as the aircraft lands. This is why the instruction to passengers is to lower the head and cover the eyes. By tucking the head down and shielding the face, you reduce the risk of facial injuries and eye injuries if debris or contact with the cabin occurs during the impact. The other options assume time to get into a brace or propose positions that don’t specifically protect the eyes and head in this no-time scenario, so they are not the recommended commands for impact when time is severely limited.
