Preparing for Unexpected Movement
An aircraft can sometimes experience sudden movement.
This may happen because of:
- Sudden braking
- Strong turbulence
- A hard landing
- Rapid acceleration or deceleration
- An unexpected aircraft movement
- An emergency situation
If a flight attendant is already seated and properly positioned, they are less likely to be thrown around the cabin by a sudden change in motion.
This is one reason why cabin crew are required to use their designated seats and follow specific safety procedures.
