Before takeoff, what call should be made to the PIC and where should you be?

Before takeoff, the crew member communicates readiness to the pilot in command with a clear call and should be seated in the jumpseat. The jumpseat is the designated secured position for cabin crew during critical phases of flight, giving quick access to assist the flight deck if needed while staying out of the way of passengers and cabin activity. Saying “Ready for takeoff” signals to the PIC that all safety checks are complete and the cabin is prepared for departure, and being in the jumpseat ensures the attendant is secured and ready to respond. Being in the cabin, at the passenger door, or in the galley would not meet the safety posture or the proper timing for this readiness communication.
