What is the procedure during light turbulence?

• A. Discontinue the cabin service
• B. Continue cabin service with caution; ensure the trolleys not in use are secured, toilets shall be locked and No. 1 makes PA
• C. Evacuate the cabin
• D. Ignore turbulence and continue normally

Answer: (B)

Light turbulence allows continued operations, but with careful safety measures. The best approach is to carry on with cabin service, but with precautions: secure the trolleys so they can’t roll and cause injuries, lock the toilets to prevent unscheduled use during the bumps, and have the lead cabin crew member make a PA to inform passengers that turbulence is occurring and what to expect. This keeps the service moving while reducing the risk from loose equipment and passenger movement, and helps maintain orderly cabin behavior. Evacuating or ignoring the turbulence would be inappropriate, and stopping service entirely is unnecessarily disruptive during light turbulence.
