Prior to evacuating the OFAR, what must the last flight attendant do?

• A. Press Horn Shutoff Button Located On The FA Control Panel
• B. Notify The Cockpit By Interphone
• C. Open The Forward Equipment Panel
• D. Verify Passenger Oxygen Masks Are Available

Answer: (A)

The key action is to silence the evacuation alert. In an evacuation, the horn sounds to notify everyone that a rapid exit is in progress. When the last flight attendant has completed their exit, the horn shutoff button on the Flight Attendant Control Panel is pressed to stop the audible alarm. This signals that crew evacuations are wrapping up and helps restore calm and clear communication in the cabin. Other options don’t fit this moment: notifying the cockpit by interphone is important for coordination but not the specific step to finalize the crew’s part of the evacuation; opening the Forward Equipment Panel serves no role in ending the evacuation signal; and verifying passenger oxygen masks are available is a routine safety check, not the action that ends the evacuation alert.
