have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, 
you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During take-off and landings you 
are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an 
alterative exit and count the rows of seat between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if 
necessary 
In the even that you are forewarned of the possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and 
keep your head down until the plane come to complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should 
keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added 
protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew command and do not 
take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated and when
