Ryanair Initial Practice Exam

Who is responsible for notifying the cabin crew of an emergency situation?

1. The First Officer

2. The Chief Cabin Crew

3. The Captain

4. The Ground Control

The correct answer is: The Captain

In an emergency situation, the Captain is responsible for ensuring the safety of everyone on board, including passengers and crew. This includes notifying the cabin crew about the emergency and providing necessary information and instructions on how to manage the situation. The Captain may communicate directly with the cabin crew through established protocols or utilize communication systems on the aircraft, ensuring that the crew can respond appropriately and coordinate necessary actions. The First Officer, while an integral part of the flight crew, typically works alongside the Captain and does not take direct responsibility for notifying cabin crew in emergency scenarios. The Chief Cabin Crew primarily focuses on cabin operations and crew management, and while they play a critical role in passenger safety, the initial notification regarding emergencies comes from the flight deck. Ground Control is responsible for guiding the aircraft during operations on the ground but does not have the same direct communication role during an inflight emergency.
