Where does the No4 Cabin Crew member sit during take-off and landing?

The No4 Cabin Crew member is seated in the L1 jumpseat inboard during take-off and landing due to specific cabin crew roles and responsibilities designed to ensure passenger safety and efficient operation of the aircraft.

Seating the No4 crew member in this location enables them to monitor the cabin effectively, assist with emergency procedures, and maintain communication with the flight deck during critical phases of flight. The choice of the L1 jumpseat inboard is strategically important, as it allows the crew member to oversee the boarding and disembarkation processes closely and respond quickly to any issues that may arise in the cabin environment.

In contrast, other seating positions may not provide the same level of visibility or accessibility to crucial areas of the aircraft where crew intervention may be necessary during these critical phases. Therefore, the choice of the L1 jumpseat inboard is aligned with operational protocols and best practices for cabin crew placement.
