What is the rationale for informing Cabin Crew as part of the response?

• A. To ensure crew readiness and passenger safety
• B. To inform them about maintenance
• C. To notify airport staff only
• D. To run a taxi to the runway

Answer: (A)

Informing cabin crew centers on ensuring readiness and passenger safety. When they’re briefed promptly, the crew can start the necessary safety procedures, secure the cabin, and convey clear instructions to passengers. This enables coordinated actions with the flight deck, such as preparing for potential evacuation, managing cabin flow, and addressing any in-flight issue quickly to minimize risk. While maintenance updates or notifying external staff are important in other contexts, the primary reason to inform cabin crew in the response is to empower them to act safely and effectively inside the aircraft.
