During severe, unanticipated turbulence, FAs must immediately _____ ______.

• A. Sit Down
• B. Brace for impact
• C. Open a door
• D. Assist passengers to safety

Answer: (A)

During severe turbulence, the priority is your own safety so you can remain functional and help others once the ride settles. Sit down and fasten your seat belt immediately to prevent injury from sudden movement. Opening a door is unsafe in rough air, and bracing for impact is a tactic used for imminent crash scenarios, not routine severe turbulence. You should secure yourself first, then, after the turbulence passes, assist passengers as needed.
