During high risk area surveillance, which action is correct?

• A. Maintain surveillance of all floor areas
• B. Inspect only the galley
• C. Monitor only seat rows
• D. Check only the escape path

Answer: (A)

Comprehensive monitoring of every floor area is essential in high risk situations because it prevents missing a developing hazard in any part of the space. If you only inspect a single area, such as the galley, seat rows, or an escape path, a fire could be starting or spreading elsewhere you’re not watching, delaying detection and response. By maintaining surveillance across all floor areas, you keep situational awareness and can spot smoke, heat, or unusual odors wherever they arise, enabling quicker evacuation and firefighting actions. That broad, all‑area watch is the best approach.
