Which action is part of the final walk-through for landing?

• A. Tray tables and seatbacks are in the upright position
• B. Close flight deck door
• C. Verify passenger seating assignments
• D. Reconfirm gate arrival time

Answer: (A)

The final walk-through for landing centers on securing the cabin for touchdown. The most important action is ensuring tray tables and seatbacks are in the upright position so the cabin is clear of loose items and passengers can assume a safe, brace-ready posture if needed. When tray tables are stowed and seatbacks are upright, there’s less risk of items shifting or injuring someone during landing, and passengers’ posture is ready for a rapid brace if required.

Closing the flight deck door is a security step tied to operations and was typically completed earlier in the flight or according to security procedures, not part of the cabin-focused landing check. Verifying passenger seating assignments and reconfirming gate arrival time aren’t actions taken as part of the final cabin preparation for landing; seating assignments aren’t adjusted mid-flight, and gate times are ground-side details handled by operations.
