When using the loudhailer, where should it not be pointed?

The loudhailer should not be pointed at the fuselage because doing so can lead to sound distortion and reduced effectiveness. The fuselage is a large, solid object that can reflect sound waves, which might cause confusion or miscommunication among crew members and passengers. Pointing the loudhailer at the fuselage does not facilitate clear communication in emergency situations where clarity is vital.

In contrast, pointing it toward the ground, sky, or passengers might be more effective, as these directions could help ensure that the sound travels effectively to those who need to hear it. Ground and sky could facilitate communication with individuals in specific areas, while directing it toward passengers is needed for clear announcements during emergencies.
