Which of the following is NOT a primary objective of the cabin crew pre-flight safety check?

• A. Verifying cabin is prepared for passenger boarding.
• B. Verifying that safety equipment is present and serviceable.
• C. Ensuring exits are ready.
• D. Confirming passenger meal preferences.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is safety readiness: before a flight, the cabin crew focuses on checks that directly affect passenger safety and the aircraft’s ability to operate safely. The pre-flight safety check verifies that the cabin is ready for boarding and free of hazards, that all safety equipment is present and serviceable, and that exits are clear and prepared for use in an evacuation. These steps ensure everyone can move safely, access life-saving equipment, and evacuate efficiently if needed. Confirming passenger meal preferences belongs to catering and service planning rather than safety readiness, so it’s not part of the primary safety checks. That’s why choosing the meal preferences is the correct answer.
