Which lights should be turned on after landing/arrival?

• A. Ceiling and sidewall
• B. Floor lighting and mood lighting
• C. Under-seat lighting
• D. All lights off

Answer: (A)

When a flight arrives, the priority is clear visibility for a safe and orderly disembarkation. Ceiling and sidewall lights provide broad, even illumination that helps passengers see the aisles, seats, and exits clearly, and it also lets crew monitor the cabin as people begin to move toward the focal points of disembarkation. Floor lighting is mainly used to guide evacuation routes in low-visibility or emergency situations, and mood or under-seat lighting aren’t necessary for safe arrival. Leaving all lights off would create confusion and hazards. So turning on the ceiling and sidewall lights best supports a safe, efficient arrival.
