When are security checks for turnaround and transit stops conducted?

• A. Upon hearing the callout 'CABIN CREW, SECURITY CHECK'
• B. Only at origin
• C. Only after landing
• D. At random times

Answer: (A)

Security checks are done in response to a specific callout given to cabin crew. When you hear the message prompting a security check, you perform a thorough sweep of the cabin, galley, and toilets, verify that all doors and emergency equipment are secure, and ensure there are no unauthorised people or suspicious items. This timing—triggered by the callout—keeps security coverage consistent during turnaround and transit stops, as passengers are boarding or deplaning and the aircraft is briefly unattended in different locations. It isn’t limited to origin or after landing, and it isn’t done at random times, because the procedure relies on the callout to coordinate the check.
