Who implements partial or full evacuation?

• A. The crew on the ground handles it
• B. The captain alone decides
• C. The passengers decide
• D. The captain and crew on scene implement it

Answer: (D)

Evacuation on an airplane is a coordinated action led by the captain and carried out by the crew on scene. When an emergency requires getting everyone off quickly, the captain makes the decision to evacuate and issues the command. Flight attendants then execute the procedure: they open exits, deploy slides if needed, and guide passengers to the nearest safe exits, keeping the flow orderly and moving as fast as possible. Ground crews may assist after the aircraft is clear, but they don’t implement the evacuation from inside the cabin. Passengers follow the crew’s instructions rather than deciding to evacuate themselves. So, the captain and crew on scene implement partial or full evacuation.
