During decompression, what should the last crew member do to silence the alarm and indicate clearance?

• A. Press the Button to Silence the Alarm and Alert FA 1 Crew Rest Area Is Clear
• B. Silence the Alarm with Any Button and Ignore Clearance
• C. Shout for Help
• D. Stand By for Instructions

Answer: (A)

During decompression, the last crew member must quickly take action that both quiets the emergency signal and communicates that the crew rest area is clear. The correct choice is to press the designated button that silences the alarm and alerts FA 1 that the Crew Rest Area is clear. This does two essential things at once: it stops the audible alert so the team can work without distraction, and it provides a clear status update to the on-duty flight attendant in charge of the rest area, confirming it’s safe to proceed. Other options don’t accomplish both parts: using any button without a specific clearance message leaves the rest area status unclear; shouting for help can create panic or confusion; waiting for instructions delays clearance and does not communicate that the rest area is safe.
