Which situation triggers cabin crew to return to their jump seats?

• A. During take-off
• B. During landing
• C. When the seat belt sign turns on and the flight crew instructs 'Cabin Crew return to your seats'.
• D. When taxiing

Answer: (C)

The rule is that cabin crew must return to their jump seats when the seat belt sign is illuminated and the flight crew explicitly orders them to do so. The seat belt sign signals that the cabin should be secured because turbulence or other hazards may occur, and the jump seats are the safest, quickest place for crew to be positioned and belted. The spoken instruction ensures everyone is aware that they need to be seated and ready to assist if needed, rather than remaining wandering in the cabin during a potentially unsafe moment. This combination—the sign being on plus the command to return to seats—is the trigger that moves crew to their jump seats.
