How many life rafts are in a 700?

• A. 3 total
• B. 1 forward ceiling compartment
• C. 2 mid cabin
• D. 0 life rafts

Answer: (A)

Life rafts are there to provide flotation for everyone on board in an overwater emergency, and the number onboard is tied to the number of exits and overall occupancy. In a 700, the standard setup is three liferafts in total, positioned so that each main exit has access to a raft and there’s a spare. This ensures that, regardless of which doors are used during a ditching, there will be enough rafts for all passengers and crew. The other options either point to a single location or suggest too few rafts, which wouldn’t meet safety requirements or the goal of ensuring access from multiple exits.
