During cabin pressure loss, what happens to the fasten seat belt sign?

• A. It illuminates
• B. It turns off
• C. It remains unchanged
• D. It blinks continuously

Answer: (A)

When cabin pressure is lost, the seat belt sign lights up to warn everyone to buckle up. Depressurization often means the aircraft will descend or encounter sudden changes in airspeed or turbulence, so passengers and crew need to be secured to prevent injuries from unexpected movement. The sign being illuminated is part of the emergency procedure to keep people safely belted until the situation is under control. Turning the sign off would remove that immediate safety cue, and leaving it unchanged wouldn’t alert passengers in this scenario. Blinking continuously isn’t the normal response to a pressurization loss unless there’s a separate fault.
