When are flight attendants permitted to move about the cabin during taxi?

• A. Only to perform safety related duties
• B. Always
• C. Never
• D. Only with captain's approval

Answer: (A)

Movement during taxi is restricted to performing safety-related duties. Flight attendants may move about the cabin during taxi when they are carrying out tasks that affect safety, such as verifying passenger belts are fastened, ensuring aisles and exits are clear, briefing passengers, or addressing a safety issue that arises. If there are no safety tasks to perform, they should stay seated with their seat belts fastened as directed by the crew and the captain. The other options either imply unrestricted movement, no movement at all, or require approval for each move, which isn’t how standard procedures work for safety duties.
