How often should flight attendants perform safety checks of the aircraft?

Flight attendants are required to perform safety checks of the aircraft at designated times to ensure that safety protocols are consistently followed and that the aircraft remains compliant with regulations throughout its operation. These designated checks are strategic and are typically scheduled before boarding, pre-flight, during the flight, and post-landing. This systematic approach allows the crew to monitor safety equipment, verify that emergency exits are accessible, and ensure that all safety procedures are adhered to during each phase of the flight.

By adhering to these designated times for safety checks, flight attendants can effectively manage potential risks, provide assurance to passengers, and maintain an overall safe flying environment. It’s important to have structure in safety inspections rather than relying on randomness or performing checks only during specific moments as that could lead to oversights and increased safety risks.
