Which action is listed as a post-turbulence action?

• A. File an IOR
• B. Notify Public Health authority
• C. Evade the Flight Deck
• D. Reassess seating

Answer: (A)

After turbulence, the formal step is to file an Incident/Occurrence Report. This document captures what happened, where and when it occurred, the severity, any injuries or damage, and the actions taken by the crew. It creates an official record for Safety and Operations to review, learn from, and use for any follow-up or changes to procedures. While other actions like noting health concerns or assisting passengers are important in certain situations, they aren’t the standard post-turbulence action. Notifying a Public Health authority isn’t routine for turbulence unless there are specific medical conditions or required reporting. Evading the Flight Deck isn’t appropriate and wouldn’t align with standard safety procedures. Reassessing seating may happen as a quick safety check during/after turbulence, but the primary formal action used to document the event is filing the Incident/Occurrence Report.
