The passenger smoking not permitted announcements should state that FAR require passenger compliance with what?

• A. Lighted passenger information signs, posted placards, and crew members instruction
• B. Airline color policy
• C. Boarding time restrictions
• D. In-flight entertainment rules

Answer: (A)

The coming message focuses on what passengers must obey to comply with no-smoking rules as required by the FAR. The FARs mandate that passengers comply with illuminated no-smoking signs, posted placards, and crew member instructions. An announcement should call out these three sources of guidance because they are the official, enforceable cues that ensure everyone knows where smoking is prohibited and what to do if a crew member directs otherwise. The other options don’t reflect the regulatory requirements for enforcing no-smoking rules, since they relate to policies or activities that are not part of the no-smoking prohibition.
