Cabin crew play an important role in aircraft safety, though they work in a hazardous environment. Their duties include ensuring passenger safety during normal flights and in emergencies through roles like providing medical assistance. However, cabin crew face several occupational health and safety issues like injuries from lifting passengers and luggage. Their training focuses on emergency procedures but may not adequately prepare them for medical roles or lack technical aircraft knowledge. Effective communication between cabin and flight crews is important for safety but challenges exist.
This document provides guidance on brace for impact positions for passengers and crew during emergency landings or crashes. It recommends that passengers place their head in their lap and grasp their legs or wrap their arms under their legs to reduce flailing. For high-density seating, passengers should brace their head against the seat in front. Pregnant women and those needing assistance should take the same positions if possible. Flight attendants should brace with their chin on their chest while holding seats or restraints. The positions aim to reduce flailing and secondary impacts through prepositioning the body against surfaces it may strike.

Flight Operations Briefing Notes
Cabin Operations
Planned Ground Evacuation
I Introduction
A planned ground evacuation can be defined as an evacuation that enables the cabin
crew to review procedures, and to inform and prepare passengers for an emergency
landing. The cabin crew provide passengers with brace instructions, guidance on exit
usage, and information on how and when exits should be operated. Effective
communication between the crewmembers and the passengers is necessary for
a timely, effective, and orderly response.
II Background Information
A safety study by the US NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) in 2000, entitled
“Emergency Evacuation of Commercial Airplanes”, cites examples of planned
evacuations where the cabin crewmembers were able to provide passengers with
a detailed briefing. The cabin preparation and briefing resulted in an orderly, timely
evacuation with few to no injuries.
III Emergency Checklist
Emergency checklists are useful tools that enable cabin crew to prepare the cabin for
a planned emergency. It contains all the steps required to prepare the cabin for
an emergency, and lists the steps to be completed in order of priority.
Many Operators have developed checklists in the form of laminated cards that are
distributed to each cabin crew, or are stowed near the cabin crew’s seats. These types
of checklists should be readily accessible to the cabin crew.
Page 1 of 12
2. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
Emergency checklists are designed to provide support to cabin crewmembers in
a planned emergency, and to help them complete all the necessary steps without
forgetting anything. Emergency checklists should be short and consistent.
IV Emergency Checklist Contents
The Brace Position
The brace position is essential when preparing passengers in an emergency landing.
Reviewing the brace position during the emergency passenger briefing will help to
ensure that passengers are in the correct brace position for landing.
The brace position has a dual function: First of all, it reduces body flailing, as
passengers must lean or bend over their legs. Secondly, it protects passengers from
hitting their head on a hard surface.
This position must be adapted if the seat is:
• Facing a seat back or a bulkhead
• Forward facing or aft-facing with a safety belt and a shoulder harness (crewmember
seats only).
It must also be adapted if passengers are pregnant, traveling with infants or obese.
• Forward facing seat • Forward facing seat
• Safety belt only • Safety belt only
• High density seating • High density seating
• Adult holding infant • Against seat and against seat
with break over feature
• Forward facing seat • Aft facing seat
• Safety belt and • Safety belt and
shoulder harness shoulder harness

Figure 1
Examples of Passenger Brace Positions and Cabin Crew Brace Positions
Page 2 of 12
3. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
It must be emphasized to passengers that they should expect more than one impact.
Passengers must remain in the brace position until the aircraft comes until a complete
stop.
Once the brace position has been explained, the next step is to inform the passengers
when to assume the brace position, for example:
“When you hear the cabin crew shouting “Brace, Brace, Brace”, this will be your signal
to take the brace position, you must remain in this position until the aircraft has come
to a complete stop”.
Emergency Exit Location
The cabin crew must indicate the location of the nearest emergency exits and the floor
proximity exit path lighting to the passengers.
Loose Items
All loose items must be removed, and secured, because they can be projected into
the cabin during landing, cause injury or may impede access to exits. Items to be
stowed and secured include:
• Carry-on baggage
• Handbags
• Laptops
• Briefcases.
All of these items must be placed in an overhead bin, closet or under a seat.
High-heeled shoes and sharp objects must also be removed, because these objects can
cause damage to the slide during an evacuation. In addition, these objects must not be
stowed in seat pockets, since they may injure passengers when they take the brace
position.
Seat pockets should only be used to stow small objects, such as pens and eyeglasses.
Cabin crews should also remove items such as pens, badges and wing pins from their
uniforms.
Able-Bodied Passengers (ABPs)
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) defines able-bodied passengers
(ABPs) as “passengers selected by crewmembers to assist in managing emergency
situations if and as required”.
The selection of ABPs is based on their ability to understand instructions, their physical
ability, and their ability to stay calm. The ideal candidates are people such as:
• Deadheading crewmembers
Page 3 of 12
4. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
• Military personnel
• Police
• Fire personnel
• Medical personnel
• People who respond well to instructions.
The cabin crew must not select family members traveling together to be ABPs, because
they will naturally prefer to assist their family members before the other passengers.
Instead, the cabin crew should select passengers who are traveling alone to be ABPs.
Ideally, the cabin crew should select 3 ABPs at each exit. One of the ABPs should be
briefed on the following:
• How to replace the cabin crewmembers in case they become incapacitated.
However, the cabin crew must emphasize that ABPs will replace cabin crewmembers
only if they are not able perform their function due to incapacitation
• How to assess conditions outside the aircraft, for example, how to identify that
an exit is usable/no longer usable
• How to open the exit
• How to protect oneself from going overboard, to remain in the assist space and to
hold on to the frame assist handle
• Commands to be used during evacuation: i.e. “Jump and slide”
• How to open the crewmembers’ seatbelt: The crew harness buckle is different from
passengers’ seat buckles, and a cabin crewmember who is incapacitated in a crew
seat may block a usable exit.
The two other ABPs should be briefed on how to assist the cabin crew during
the evacuation, such as by:
• Holding passengers back during door opening and slide inflation
• Remaining at the bottom of the slide during the evacuation to assist other
passengers.
The cabin crew should brief the ABPs seated at overwing exits on the following:
• How to assess the outside conditions
• When to open the exit
• How to open the exit
• Commands to be used: i.e. “Come this way”, “Step out”, “Follow the arrows”, “Run
and slide”
• How to redirect passengers if an exit is no longer usable or blocked.
Page 4 of 12
5. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
ABPs should is also be assigned to assist special needs passengers, such as:
• Passengers with reduced mobility
• The elderly
• Unaccompanied minors
• People traveling alone with more than one child.
Securing the Cabin
When the passenger briefings have been completed, the cabin crew must perform
the final cabin secure check, in order to ensure that:
• Seat belts are fastened
• Seat backs are in the upright position
• Tray tables are closed and latched
• Armrests are down
• Carry-on baggage is stowed and secure
• Overhead bins are closed and latched
• Exits and aisles are clear of all obstructions
• Service items are cleared
• Cabin dividers are open.
The lavatories should be vacated and locked, and the galley equipment should be
secured by:
• Closing and locking all containers
• Ensuring that carts are correctly stowed and secured
• Switching off all galley power, and pulling all galley circuit breakers.
When the emergency checklist has been completed, the Purser will notify the flight
crew that the cabin is secured. The Purser will also ask for an update of the situation,
and the amount of time remaining.
At this point in time, the cabin crewmembers should:
• Take their seats
• Adjust the seat harness
• Begin a silent review
• Be prepared to brace when the command comes from the flight crew.

Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
V Operational Standards for a Planned Ground Evacuation
Planned Ground Evacuation Briefing
In any type of unusual, abnormal or emergency situation, crew communication and
co-ordination play a vital role. It is important that information is shared amongst
the entire crew. Successful evacuations are dependent on effective communication
among
the flight crew, the cabin crew and the passengers.
It is important for Operators to establish procedures in order to ensure that adequate
guidance is provided to both flight crews and cabin crews on how to conduct abnormal
and emergency briefings.
For example, if the flight crew needs to inform the cabin crew of an emergency, there
may be a specific signal to alert the cabin, such as:
• A series of chimes
• A specific phrase: i.e. “Purser to cockpit”.
These specific actions alert the other crewmembers that there is an emergency
situation. When the cabin crewmembers hear the signal, this indicates that
an emergency situation exists, and that they must start to secure equipment. Cabin
crewmembers should be ready, at their stations, to be briefed by the Purser via
the interphone.
The Flight Crew to Purser Briefing
The flight crew should brief the Purser in a clear, precise and concise manner.
The briefing should provide the Purser with the following information:
• Nature of emergency (landing or ditching)
• Time available to prepare the cabin (the cabin and flight crew should synchronize
watches to assist with time management)
• What the brace signal will be
• Signal to remain seated (if no evacuation is required)
• Special instructions/other information
• Who will inform the passengers and when (flight crew or Purser).
The Purser to Cabin Crew Briefing
The Purser must take note of the time in order to manage the time available for
the emergency briefing. A certain amount of time is allocated to each task on
the checklist. The Purser will need to closely monitor the time in order to accomplish as
many tasks on the checklists, as time permits.
Page 6 of 12
7. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
The extent of the cabin preparation will depend on the time available. The steps of
the cabin preparation should be completed in the order of their importance.
The Purser will relay the information provided by the flight crew to all of
the cabin crewmembers. The Purser then will instruct the cabin crewmembers to:
• Take their emergency checklists
• Take their emergency briefing position
• Be prepared for the emergency announcement and demonstration.
The Cabin Crew to Passenger Briefing
For psychological reasons, it is advised that the flight crew make the initial
announcement. However, due to the high workload in the cockpit during an emergency,
the Purser may be required to make the announcement. The Purser must inform
the passengers about:
• The nature of the emergency
• The need to prepare the cabin
• The need for passengers to follow the cabin crewmembers instructions.
Before the emergency demonstration begins, the cabin crew must ensure that:
• The cabin dividers are open
• The lighting is bright
• The entertainment system is switched off.
The cabin crew should be ready to demonstrate the emergency briefing in their
assigned brief and secure area.
In order to conduct an effective briefing, the cabin crew must not distract
the passenger’s attention from the briefing.
Some helpful tips include:
• Do not walk up and down the aisle during the announcement
• Do not talk during the announcement
• Coordinate the demonstration with the announcement.
When reading the announcement, the Purser should speak slowly and distinctly, and
remember to pause at key points. This will enable cabin crewmembers to perform
the demonstration, and verify passenger compliance.
Page 7 of 12
8. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
The Signal to Evacuate
The flight crew will initiate the evacuation by using the Passenger Address system (PA)
to make an appropriate announcement, such as: “Passengers Evacuate”, and then
pressing the EVAC COMMAND pushbutton.
Note:
Preparing the cabin for an emergency does not always result in an evacuation.
If the flight crew decides that no evacuation is required, they may announce:
“Passengers and crew remain seated”.
Cabin crewmembers must be assertive in order to ensure that passengers remain
seated, and that they follow all instructions.
The Cabin Evacuation Process
The evacuation must begin immediately upon receiving the evacuation signal.
Positive, assertive action from the cabin crew will directly impact the rate and flow of
passenger movement to the exits and down the slides. The commands used by
the cabin crew are an essential part of the evacuation process.
Commands should be:
• Loud
• Clear
• Short
• Well-paced
• Assertive
• Positive.
The following are of some of the commands that are used to during the evacuation of
passengers:
• “Seatbelts off!”
• “Leave everything!”
• “Come this way!”
• “Hurry, hurry!”
• “Jump and slide!”
• “Two by two!” (dual lane slide), “One at a time!” (single lane slide).
During the evacuation, the cabin crew must:
• Monitor the flow of the evacuation. Be aware of congestion in the cabin, and at
the bottom of the slide
Page 8 of 12
9. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
• Be alert of evolving situations during the evacuation, for example slide damage, or
a fire that would make it impossible to use the exit
• Be prepared to re-direct passengers to other exits if, necessary.
Post-Evacuation
The majority of emergency evacuations happen at, or near, an airport. While
the crewmembers are evacuating the aircraft, the Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) is
implemented. This plan consists of deploying emergency services such as Airport
Rescue Fire Fighting, ambulances, and police to the scene.
The crewmembers are responsible for the passengers, until they are relieved by
the rescue services. They must carry out the following actions to ensure passenger
safety:
• Assist passengers away from the slides
• Direct the passengers away from fuel, fire and vehicles
• Assist in marshalling passengers to a safe area upwind, away from the aircraft
• Keep passengers together and complete a headcount
• Treat injured passengers, and give first aid, if necessary
• Enforce a NO SMOKING policy.
Crewmembers should also receive training and survival information according to
regions, such as:
• Desert areas
• Tropical areas
• Polar regions
• Mountainous areas.
VI Factors Affecting Adherence to the Operational Standards
Analysis of in-service events reveals that the operational standards can be ineffective
or non-applicable due to the following reasons:
• Incorrect application of the procedure:
− An elderly person is seated at an overwing exit.
• Lack of training and familiarity with procedures:
− A crewmember lacks sufficient assertiveness when ordering passengers to exit
the aircraft
− The crewmember does not use the manual inflation handle when the slide does
not automatically inflate.
Page 9 of 12
10. Cabin Operations
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Planned Ground Evacuation
• Lack of procedures:
− The Operator provides inadequate procedures and guidelines for planned
emergencies
− The Operator does not give additional briefing to passengers seated at overwing
exit.
• Ineffective cabin crew communication with the passengers:
− Passengers do not adopt the brace position or the correct brace position when
the cabin crew shout the commands.
• Ineffective cabin crew communication with the flight crew:
− The flight crew does not inform the Purser how much the time is available to
prepare the cabin. Therefore, the cabin crew is not aware of the time constraints
and unable to prioritize the checklist tasks
− The flight crew decides not to perform the evacuation. However,
the crewmember does not hear the order “remain seated”, and shouts
the evacuation commands
− The brace signal given by the flight crew, is too early, is not heard or comes to
late. Therefore, crewmembers and passengers are sitting upright upon impact.
VII Prevention Strategies
It is impossible to prevent an unexpected event such as a ground evacuation. However,
if an evacuation is required, it is possible to take preventive steps that will help in
achieving an efficient evacuation:
• Effective communication and coordination between the flight and cabin crew is
crucial when an emergency event occurs
• Training should ensure that crewmembers are proficient in the use of emergency
evacuation procedures, commands and crowd control. Each crewmember should be
trained to know the location, function and operation of each piece of emergency
equipment onboard the aircraft
• Cabin crewmembers should verify that the passengers seated at exit rows will be
able to assist the cabin crew, in the case of an emergency. Individual briefings
provided to passengers seated at exit rows have two benefits:
− Firstly, it provides passengers with the opportunity to ask the cabin crew
questions
− Secondly, it enables the cabin crew to ensure that the passengers seated at
the exit rows understand the language in which the cabin crewmembers will give
their commands, and are capable of opening the exit, in the case of
an emergency.
• Attract passengers’ attention during the safety demonstration by making eye
contact with as many passengers as possible

• Attract passengers’ attention to the safety card, and emphasize that a review of
the safety card is important, because it contains additional safety information.
VIII Summary of Key Points
• Operators should develop an emergency checklist that clearly lists the role, duties
and responsibilities of each crewmember in order to prepare for a planned
emergency:
− Emergency checklists provide the cabin crew with a memory aid
− Emergency checklists should provide all the steps required to prepare the cabin
in an emergency in order of priority
− Emergency checklists keep the cabin crew task minded.
• The assertiveness of the cabin crew has a direct impact on the passenger
evacuation or non-evacuation (if the order to evacuate is not received from
the flight crew, the cabin crewmembers will need to assert their authority, in order
to prevent an unnecessary passenger-initiated evacuation)
• Operators should define exit row seating requirement policies, and ABP
requirements regarding age, physical ability, and the ability to understand
the language in which the crew will give their commands
• Operators that have a “free seating” policy should ensure that the ground staff and
the cabin crew are aware of the exit row seating requirements
• Operators should regularly review cabin safety recommendations from the various
aviation authorities, and safety agencies
• Operators should review incidents that occur during in-house flight operations.
These incidents can be analyzed to update existing procedures, or used during cabin
crew emergency training, or CRM training.
