No seats on board can be occupied if seat belts provided are not properly anchored to the seat frame and functioning properly.

• A. Only during takeoff
• B. False
• C. True
• D. Only if buckle broken

Answer: (C)

Safety depends on a seat belt being securely anchored to the seat frame and able to restrain the occupant. If the belt isn’t properly anchored or isn’t functioning (for example, a broken buckle or frayed strap), it cannot provide the required restraint. Because of that, seats on board should not be occupied until the seat belt system is serviceable. This rule applies at all times in the cabin, not just during takeoff. So the statement is true: no seats can be occupied if the seat belts aren’t properly anchored and functioning.
