If intercom is not available during an emergency, which signaling indicates completion of the ejection checklist?

• A. Hold up Pink Pages
• B. Thumbs up
• C. Three face curtain signals
• D. Verbal confirmation

Answer: (C)

When intercoms aren’t available, crews rely on a clear, standardized nonverbal signal to confirm that the ejection checklist has been completed. The three face curtain signals are the designated gesture for this purpose, because they are explicit, easy to observe, and work in a high-stress, noisy environment where spoken communication might be impossible. This makes the completion of the checklist unmistakable to everyone involved.

Holding up pink pages depends on seeing and recognizing a specific document, which may not be visible in the moment. A thumbs up can be ambiguous or blocked from view. Verbal confirmation requires speaking, which may not be feasible if the intercom is down or noise is interfering.
