ATR General Familiarization Practice Test

What is the role of the cabin crew during an in-flight depressurization event?

Pilot the aircraft. Assist with oxygen mask deployment, protect passengers, and support crew actions. Operate the engine controls. Disengage autopilot.

Correct Answer:

Assist with oxygen mask deployment, protect passengers, and support crew actions.

Explanation:

During depressurization, the immediate goal is to ensure everyone has access to oxygen and stays safe inside the cabin. Cabin crew are trained to facilitate the deployment and proper use of oxygen masks, quickly guiding passengers to put masks on and ensuring help for those who need it, such as children or people with mobility challenges. They also focus on protecting passengers by giving calm, clear instructions, keeping aisles clear, and securing the cabin to prevent injuries. In addition, they support the flight crew by communicating needs, following updated procedures, and coordinating the crew’s actions throughout the event. They do not pilot the aircraft, operate engine controls, or disengage autopilot.
