Ryanair Initial Practice Exam

What command is given for passengers during a no time available landing?

1. Hold tight, stay calm

2. Head down, grab ankles, stay down

3. Brace for impact

4. Prepare for emergency exit

The correct answer is: Head down, grab ankles, stay down

During a no time available landing, the command given for passengers is to assume a protective position, which entails putting their heads down and grabbing their ankles while remaining in a crouched position. This action is critical for ensuring that passengers are in the best possible position to minimize injury in the event of a hard landing or impact. By adopting this posture, passengers can protect vital areas of their bodies and reduce the risk of serious injuries from abrupt movements or debris. The other options, while related to passenger safety, do not convey the specific protective action needed in this scenario. For example, the command to "hold tight, stay calm" lacks the necessary urgency and physical positioning required for a no time available landing. Similarly, "brace for impact" is typically used for different types of emergencies and does not provide specific guidance on how to position oneself effectively in this particular situation. "Prepare for emergency exit" also does not relate directly to the immediate protective action required prior to landing.
