When jetbridge moves away from the aircraft, what should be done?

• A. Disengage the throttle
• B. Give all call announcement, arm doors and cross check
• C. Open the forward door
• D. Unfasten seatbelts

Answer: (B)

When the jetbridge moves away, the crew needs to confirm and communicate the door readiness before the next phase of operations. The best action is to make an all-call to announce that the doors are armed and to perform the cross-check. This sequence ensures everyone on board is aware of the door status, and that the door arming has been verified by both cabin crew and the flight deck. It helps prevent any confusion about evacuation readiness and confirms that safety systems (the doors and slides) are properly configured for the next steps. Disengaging the throttle, opening the forward door, or unfastening seatbelts aren’t the immediate safety actions tied to the jetbridge moving away. They either belong to other phases or tasks and don’t address door readiness and crew awareness in this moment.
