What should passengers be reminded of during both expected and unexpected turbulence?

During both expected and unexpected turbulence, it is crucial for passengers to remain seated with their seatbelts fastened. This is primarily because turbulence can occur suddenly and with varying intensity, regardless of whether it is anticipated or not. Keeping seatbelts fastened minimizes the risk of injury caused by sudden jolts or movements. When passengers are securely seated and buckled in, they are less likely to be thrown about the cabin, which can prevent accidents that might occur if they were standing or moving around during such conditions.

Reinforcing the importance of fastening seatbelts during turbulence is a standard safety protocol that helps protect individuals onboard, ensuring that they are secure in their seats until the turbulence subsides. This measure is part of broader safety practices that aim to maintain a safe flying environment.
