Statement: Before dumping fuel, the Captain will advise the In-Charge who will advise cabin crew. The Captain will make an announcement to the passengers explaining what is taking place.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not enough information
• D. Partially true

Answer: (A)

In flight safety communications, actions that affect the cabin or safety are coordinated through the defined chain of command. Before any fuel-dump operation, the Captain will relay the plan to the In-Charge so they can brief and coordinate the cabin crew on what to expect, what announcements may be needed, and any precautions or service changes required. The Captain then typically makes a passenger briefing to explain what is happening and why, so passengers aren’t surprised and understand that safety and weight management are being addressed. This approach — inform the In-Charge who informs cabin crew, and have the Captain address passengers — aligns with keeping everyone informed and prepared, which is why the statement is correct.
