Who executes the evacuation once the flight deck orders it?

• A. Cabin crew.
• B. Passengers
• C. Ground staff
• D. Maintenance crew

Answer: (B)

In an in-flight emergency, the cabin crew are responsible for carrying out the evacuation under the flight deck’s orders. They take charge of opening exits, deploying slides or rafts as needed, and guiding passengers to the safest exit routes. They keep aisles clear, give clear instructions, assist those who need help, and perform a quick headcount to ensure no one is left behind. Ground staff or maintenance crews aren’t part of the on-board evacuation process, and passengers evacuate under the crew’s direction rather than initiating or organizing it themselves.
