For takeoff, your jump seat seatbelt should be low and loose. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Depends on height

Answer: (B)

During takeoff you must be restrained in the jump seat. The belt should be fastened and snug, worn low on the hips to provide solid restraint. A loose belt can ride up or fail to hold you in place if the aircraft pitches or experiences turbulence, increasing injury risk. It should stay securely fastened before takeoff and be adjusted so it’s firm but comfortable.
