If any component of the interphone/PA system is not functional, what is the required action?

• A. Inform the In-Charge Flight Attendant who will notify the Captain and maintenance staff
• B. Notify Ground Control
• C. Ignore the issue
• D. Inform the passengers only

Answer: (A)

When a part of the interphone or PA system isn’t working, the proper action is to inform the In-Charge Flight Attendant, who will then notify the Captain and maintenance staff. This follows the established chain of command for cabin systems, ensuring the flight deck is aware of the fault and maintenance can arrange a timely inspection or repair without delay. Ground Control isn’t the correct channel for in-cabin system issues, and ignoring the problem or only informing passengers won’t resolve the fault or keep everyone safe. The liaison role of the In-Charge Flight Attendant keeps coordination organized and safe for everyone on board.
