Ryanair Initial Practice Exam

The first step in managing moderate turbulence is to discontinue the cabin service. During moderate turbulence, the safety of passengers and crew is the primary concern, and continuing service could pose risks of injury or spills. By halting cabin service, flight attendants can ensure that everyone is seated and secured, thereby mitigating potential hazards. This procedure helps to maintain order and safety in the cabin, allowing the crew to focus on managing the situation effectively.

While securing cabin items and alerting the flight crew are essential steps in the overall turbulence management protocol, they typically follow the initial decision to discontinue service. Once service is halted, attention can then shift to ensuring all passengers are secure and advising the flight crew of the cabin's status. This sequential approach is critical in ensuring that safety measures are prioritized and efficiently handled, particularly in a turbulent environment.
