Aviation: Safety
(asked on 7th December 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the brace position that forms part of passenger airline safety instructions is a Government approved safety procedure.
This question was answered on 21st December 2017
The requirement to carry out a safety briefing is contained in Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (the Air Ops Regulation).
The associated European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Guidance Material states that the operator should consider including the brace position in its safety material.
As this is Guidance Material it is not legally enforceable, but we would certainly consider it to be good practice.
