In the land/ditch preparation sequence, what follows the captain's PA?

• A. CSM's PA
• B. Review briefing cards with passengers
• C. Cabin crew move to demonstration positions
• D. Secure galleys and stow loose items

Answer: (A)

In land/ditch preparation, the captain’s announcement sets the stage, but the immediate next action is the Cabin Services Manager addressing the cabin crew. The CSM, being the senior cabin supervisor, issues the specific instructions to coordinate the crew’s safety tasks. This ensures a clear, centralized plan before anyone moves to positions or briefs passengers. After the CSM’s PA, the crew can move to their demonstration positions and conduct passenger briefing as part of the sequence. The other tasks described are actions that come after the initial coordination, not the immediate next step.
