To resume service after turbulence, what must you do?

• A. Call the captain
• B. Refill beverage carts
• C. Check passenger belts
• D. Notify the purser

Answer: (A)

After turbulence, safety first means getting authorization from the captain before resuming service. The captain has final authority over flight operations and can assess whether it's safe to restart activities, whether the seat belt signs can be turned off, and whether conditions are stable enough for service to continue. Calling the captain ensures you don’t resume service prematurely in case turbulence recurs or conditions worsen.

Other actions, like refilling beverage carts, checking passenger belts, or simply notifying the purser, don’t provide that authorization. They’re part of post-turbulence safety checks and coordination, but they don’t replace the captain’s clearance to resume service.
