Which option describes liferaft deployment locations on the 700 series aircraft?

• A. The forward entry door
• B. The over wing exit
• C. The forward galley service door
• D. Both over wing exit and forward entry door

Answer: (D)

In a ditching or water landing, getting flotations to passengers quickly from multiple exits is essential, so the 700 series is configured to deploy liferafts from both the forward entry door and the over wing exit. The forward entry door is a primary evacuation point with a slide that can convert into a raft, giving immediate access to flotation for those at the front. The over wing exit also carries a raft-capable deployment, providing additional capacity and access for passengers near the wings. Having both locations available increases overall survivability by ensuring rafts can be deployed where passengers evacuate and by providing redundancy if one exit is blocked or hard to reach.
