What steps are taken to secure the cabin for taxi, takeoff, and landing?

• A. Ensure seat belts are fastened, all luggage stowed, aisles clear, and exits accessible; check for safety compliance.
• B. Play in-flight games.
• C. Open all overhead bins.
• D. Turn off cabin lights.

Answer: (A)

Securing the cabin for taxi, takeoff, and landing centers on preventing movement injuries and ensuring a quick, safe evacuation if needed. The key steps are making sure everyone is wearing seat belts, all luggage is properly stowed, aisles are clear, and exits remain accessible. A final safety check confirms compliance with procedures and that no items block the aisles or exits. In addition, seats are kept upright and tray tables stowed so nothing can become a projectile or hinder a rapid exit. The other options don’t fit because they don’t address safety and orderly readiness for these critical phases.
