For J/S Wall-Mounted Pre-Flight, which feature must retract?

• A. Shoulder harness retracts
• B. Seat bottom retracts
• C. Headrest intact
• D. Seat pulls out and locks into place

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that safety items on a wall-mounted jumpseat must be stowed so they don’t interfere with boarding, egress, or seat operation. The shoulder harness has to retract to its stowed position. When it’s extended, it can snag clothing, get in the way of seating or movement, or hinder a quick release when needed. Retracting the harness keeps the area clear and ensures the crew member can sit and access the harness promptly if required. The other features aren’t part of this retraction requirement: headrests are typically fixed and do not need to retract for the preflight check, and the seat’s bottom or locking actions aren’t the focus of this particular check.
