What must the cabin lights be set to in the ceiling and passenger area when the aircraft has parked at the gate?

The correct setting for cabin lights in the ceiling and passenger area when the aircraft has parked at the gate is Bright/White Medium. This level of illumination ensures that safety protocols are maintained while also creating a welcoming atmosphere for passengers as they disembark or prepare to board. The Bright/White Medium setting provides adequate visibility to facilitate any assistance passengers may need, enabling the cabin crew to effectively manage the deplaning process and ensure a smooth transition for boarding passengers.

Choosing this setting over dim or low light options supports safety procedures, allowing both crew members and passengers to clearly see the cabin environment. Bright lighting also helps staff conduct final checks of the cabin, ensuring no items are left behind and that the area is clear for the next set of passengers. Overall, maintaining a well-lit cabin at the gate enhances both safety and service quality.
