Who should brief exit row passengers about operating the exit if needed?

• A. The captain
• B. The cabin crew
• C. Ground staff
• D. A supervisor

Answer: (B)

The people best suited to brief exit row passengers on how to operate the exit are the cabin crew. They’re the ones who conduct the passenger safety briefing and are trained to explain, step by step, how to open and use the exit in an evacuation, what to do with any hatch or door mechanisms, and how to keep the path clear. They also assess and confirm that exit row passengers understand their responsibilities and can assist if an evacuation becomes necessary.

The captain is responsible for overall flight safety and command, but the actual in-flight safety briefing and exit operation instructions are delivered by the cabin crew. Ground staff aren’t onboard to perform this briefing, and a supervisor wouldn’t typically take on this role during a flight.
