Who initiates Emergency Light Check?

• A. Cabin Crew Member
• B. Flight Attendant
• C. Purser
• D. SCCM

Answer: (D)

Initiating safety checks is the responsibility of the person with overall safety supervision on board—the SCCM. This role is charged with safety compliance and starting essential verifications before flight, including the Emergency Light Check. The SCCM starts the test to confirm that all emergency lighting works—exit signs illuminate, floor path lighting functions, and the system powers from the emergency battery. They coordinate with the cabin crew to perform the test, observe the results, and ensure any faults are logged and addressed before departure. Crew members may carry out the hands‑on testing and report findings under supervision, but the formal initiation comes from the SCCM, reflecting their authority over safety procedures.
