In an 800, the life rafts are located in which locations?

• A. 2 forward ceiling compartment and 2 mid cabin
• B. 4 total
• C. 2 forward doors
• D. 1 aft cabin

Answer: (A)

Emergency equipment is placed for quick access from different parts of the cabin in a ditching scenario. On this aircraft, four life rafts are stored as two in forward ceiling compartments and two in the mid cabin. This distribution lets crew deploy rafts rapidly for passengers seated in both the front and middle sections, which is why this specific location arrangement is the best description of where they’re kept. Merely stating the total number doesn’t tell you where they’re located, and other suggested locations wouldn’t provide coverage across the cabin or match standard stowage practices.
