What is the first action in the Exit Seat Briefing sequence?

• A. Assess
• B. Notify
• C. Confirm
• D. Evacuate

Answer: (A)

The first action in the Exit Seat Briefing sequence is to assess the passenger and the current situation. This check determines whether the person seated in the exit row can safely perform the duties required in an emergency and whether the exit area is accessible. By assessing early, you identify any factors that could prevent safe operation—such as language barriers, mobility or physical limitations, age, or an inability to follow instructions. If the person is found suitable, you then inform them of the responsibilities and how to operate the exit if needed, followed by confirming their understanding. Evacuation, on the other hand, is a response in an actual emergency, not a step in the briefing sequence.
