According to the Cabin Preparation Checklist, what should be done with galley and electrical equipment?

• A. Switched on
• B. Left on
• C. Switched off
• D. Turned to standby

Answer: (C)

The main idea is safety and securing the cabin before departure. The Cabin Preparation Checklist requires all galley and electrical equipment to be switched off to eliminate the risk of any accidental activation, electrical faults, or overheating during critical phases of flight. Turning everything off also reduces electrical load, preserving power for essential systems and making sure the galley is secure for taxi, takeoff, and landing.

Switched off is the best choice because it definitively removes power from galley and electrical equipment. Leaving them on would keep power on and could allow unintended operation or heat buildup. Leaving on or turning to standby could still draw power or permit automatic activation, which is not appropriate in preflight checks.
