You are involved in an emergency landing of a helicopter on the water. You should inflate your life jacket __________.

Correct Answer: Option D — after exiting clear of the helicopter

Inflating a life jacket inside a helicopter cabin can trap the wearer or obstruct egress, especially if the aircraft begins to sink or capsize. Standard emergency procedures dictate that the life jacket must be inflated only after the survivor has successfully exited the aircraft and is clear of the wreckage.
