What is the recommended method to announce cabin readiness during descent?

• A. Deliver a calm authoritative PA confirming cabin readiness and expected landing procedures.
• B. Describe in detail the flight's meal options.
• C. Remain silent.
• D. Show a video rather than PA.

Answer: (A)

During descent, passengers need clear, concise guidance about safety actions and what to expect for landing. The best approach is a calm, authoritative PA that confirms cabin readiness and outlines the expected landing procedures. This direct communication ensures everyone is seated with seat belts fastened, tables and items stowed, and devices secured, while preparing them for landing and any post-landing instructions. It reduces confusion, reinforces compliance with crew instructions, and helps maintain a smooth, orderly descent. Describing meal options at this time is distracting and inappropriate; remaining silent offers no guidance, and showing a video instead of a live PA cannot deliver the timely, specific safety information required for a safe landing.
