What is the correct sequence of actions according to the described steps?

• A. Build your team; Coordinate with dispatch for a diversion airport and information; Inform Cabin Crew
• B. Build your team; Inform Cabin Crew; Coordinate with dispatch for a diversion airport and information
• C. Inform Cabin Crew; Build your team; Coordinate with dispatch for a diversion airport and information
• D. Coordinate with dispatch for a diversion airport; Build your team; Inform Cabin Crew

Answer: (A)

Establishing a clear command and task ownership first is essential in an in-flight decision-making situation. When the team is defined, everyone knows who leads and who handles each action, which prevents chaos and duplicate efforts. After the roles are set, coordinating with dispatch to obtain the diversion airport and all relevant information (weather, runway availability, services, fuel implications) provides a solid plan to base decisions on. Only then should you inform cabin crew so they can be briefed, prepared, and aligned with the plan they’ll execute and communicate to passengers. Informing cabin crew too early or trying to get information without an assigned team can lead to mixed messages or disorganized actions. The correct sequence is: build your team, coordinate with dispatch for a diversion airport and information, inform Cabin Crew.
