What should the N3 and N4 instruct the selected ABP's during their briefing?

The correct answer emphasizes the critical role that ABPs (Able-Bodied Persons) play during an evacuation scenario. Instructing ABPs to open the exit and assist passengers to evacuate is essential for several reasons. First, ABPs are specifically chosen due to their physical ability and understanding of emergency protocols, enabling them to act quickly and efficiently. In an emergency, every second counts, and having ABPs ready at the exits can significantly enhance the speed and effectiveness of the evacuation process.

By opening the exit doors, the ABPs facilitate the quick exit of passengers who may be panicking or unsure of what to do next. Providing clear guidance to these individuals ensures that the evacuation route remains accessible and organized, reducing the risk of chaos. This instruction is standard practice in aviation safety training, highlighting the importance of involving ABPs directly in the evacuation process to maximize passenger safety.

The other options lack the urgency and proactive measures required in an emergency situation. Asking ABPs to wait for further instructions or to stay seated goes against the principle of immediate action necessary during an evacuation. Similarly, instructing them to assist passengers away from the exit does not contribute to the primary goal of ensuring passengers exit the aircraft swiftly and safely.
