Prior of ditching situation what is the highest priority of the commander of the aircraft during the maneuver?
  • A
    Ensure the security of the passengers.
  • B
    The aircraft is ready to be evacuated and passengers wear the life jacket.
  • C
    The control of the aircraft.
  • D
    Make known his intentions to the people on board.
"Aviate, Navigate, Communicate” teaches pilots to fly the airplane first, ensuring its control and safety; then navigate, and once the situation is under control, communicate. We can employ a similar tactic if we face an emergency. 
  • It is the cabin crews' duty to prepare and secure the cabin for ditching and brief the passengers. Pilots should focus on achieving a successful ditching. 
    As you can see, making PAs to passengers ("communicate") comes last on the list of pilots' priorities, especially in an emergency situation.
