Which items must be stowed before pushback relating to seats and cabin features?

• A. Tray tables, in-seat monitors and foot rests
• B. Ovens and coolers
• C. Galley carts and latches
• D. Seat belts only

Answer: (A)

Before pushback, anything that could move and injure someone or obstruct the cabin must be stowed. Tray tables, in-seat monitors, and foot rests are directly part of the seating area and cabin features, so they need to be closed, retracted, or folded to ensure clear passage and protect people during pushback and taxi. If left extended, these items can strike passengers or crew, snag on uniforms or equipment, or interfere with the safe evacuation if needed.

Ovens and coolers are galley equipment and must be secured, but they belong to the galley area rather than seats and cabin features. Galley carts and latches also get secured, but again, they’re about the galley, not the seating/cabin features. Seat belts are not stowed; they’re worn as required during taxi, takeoff, and landing.
