shouted by the cabin crew if there is no fire visible?
A. "Jump and slide!"
B. "Open seatbelts, get out!"
C. "Stay in your seats!"
D. "Heads down, stay down!"
Rationale: SOPs dictate clear, authoritative commands to initiate

3. What is the minimum number of cabin crew required to operate a
Boeing 737-800?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 2
Rationale: Regulatory requirements state there must be one cabin
crew member for every 50 seats. The 737-800 has 189 seats,

4. Which cabin crew member is responsible for the flight deck door
during the "Pilot Out" procedure?
A. No 1
B. No 2
C. No 3
, D. No 4
Rationale: The No 1 (Senior Cabin Crew Member) is responsible
for coordinating flight deck access and ensuring the galley area is
clear/secured during pilot transitions.
5. What is the pre-flight check for the Halon Fire Extinguisher?
A. Pressure gauge in the green, safety pin in place, seal
intact.
B. Pressure gauge in the red, pin removed.
C. Shake the bottle to ensure liquid is present.
D. Ensure the nozzle is pointed downward.
Rationale: The green sector on the gauge indicates the
extinguisher is pressurized and ready for use. The pin and seal
prevent accidental discharge.
6. In a "Time Available" emergency, what is the first piece of
information the Captain gives the No 1?
A. How much fuel is left.
B. NITS (Nature, Intention, Time, Special instructions).
C. The number of passengers on board.
D. The weather at the diversion airport.
Rationale: The NITS briefing is the standardized format used by
flight crew to inform cabin crew of the emergency details.
7. What is the primary use of the PBE (Protective Breathing
Equipment)?
A. To provide oxygen to passengers in a decompression.
B. To protect crew from smoke and toxic gases during
firefighting.
C. To assist passengers with asthma.
D. To use as a life vest for infants.
Rationale: The PBE (smoke hood) provides 15 minutes of oxygen
and head protection for crew members actively fighting a fire.
8. Where is the "Aft Left" (L2) door located?
A. Front of the aircraft.
B. Rear of the aircraft on the left side.
C. Over the wing on the left side.
D. Inside the flight deck.
Rationale: Door numbering follows the side (L/R) and the
position from front to back (1=Front, 2=Rear).
,9. What is the pre-flight check for the Freon fire extinguisher in the
lavatory?
A. Ensure the bottle is cold.
B. Check that the pressure gauge is in the green/white
sector.
C. Ensure the door is locked.
D. Manually discharge a small amount.
Rationale: The Freon extinguisher is an automatic system located
under the sink to extinguish waste bin fires.
10. What are the three elements required for a fire to exist?
A. Fuel, Water, Oxygen.
B. Fuel, Heat, Oxygen.
C. Paper, Wood, Electricity.
D. Nitrogen, Heat, Smoke.
Rationale: This is the "Fire Triangle." Removing any one of these
three elements will extinguish the fire.
11. What is the cabin crew's first action during a "Rapid
Decompression"?
A. Inform the passengers.
B. Take the nearest oxygen mask and sit down/secure
yourself.
C. Go to the flight deck.
D. Begin the emergency evacuation.
Rationale: Crew must protect themselves first to ensure they are
conscious and able to help passengers once the aircraft reaches a
safe altitude.
12.How long does the emergency lighting system last once activated?
A. 5 minutes.
B. 10 minutes.
C. 30 minutes.
D. 1 hour.
Rationale: The emergency lighting system is designed to provide
illumination for the duration of a standard evacuation and
shortly after.

A. It must be performed by all crew members during
every takeoff and landing.
B. It is only required during emergencies.
, C. Only the No 1 needs to do it.
D. It involves reading the safety card out loud.
Rationale: The Silent Review (OLD ABC: Operation of exits,
Location of equipment, Drills, Able-bodied passengers, Buddies,
Commands) keeps crew mentally prepared for an incident.
14.Which fire extinguisher should be used on an electrical fire?
A. Halon.
B. Water.
C. Freon.
D. CO2 only.
Rationale: Halon is a non-conductive liquefied gas, making it safe
for electrical fires and most other cabin fires.
15. What is the procedure if a passenger suffers from "Hypoxia"?
A. Administer oxygen on high flow (4L/min).
B. Give them a glass of water.
C. Perform CPR immediately.
D. Tell them to breathe into a paper bag.
Rationale: Hypoxia is a lack of oxygen in the blood/tissues. High-
flow oxygen is the direct treatment.
16.What is the "Assumed Position" for passengers in a low-impact
emergency?
A. Sitting upright with hands on head.
B. Feet flat on the floor, head down against the seat in
front, hands over head.
C. Kneeling in the aisle.
D. Standing up near the exits.
Rationale: The brace position minimizes body movement and
protects the head from impact during a crash landing.
17. Who is responsible for the "Girt Bar" on the R1 door?
A. No 1.
B. No 2.
C. No 3.
D. No 4.
Rationale: In Ryanair's 4-crew setup, specific doors are assigned
