On the 800 series, liferafts can be deployed from which doors?

• A. Forward galley service door only
• B. Over wing exit only
• C. Over wing exit and forward entry door
• D. Both over wing exit/forward entry door and forward galley service door

Answer: (D)

Liferafts on the 800 series are designed to be deployed from multiple doors to ensure a successful launch even if some exits are blocked or unusable during an emergency. The raft packs and deployment gear are configured at the over wing exits as well as at the forward entry door and the forward galley service door. This means you can launch a raft from either an over wing exit or from the forward doors, giving crews flexible options depending on where passengers are or where water is encountered. That versatility is why the best answer includes deployment from both the over wing exits and the forward entry door plus the forward galley service door. Limiting deployment to a single door would reduce the ability to get a raft away in certain emergency scenarios, which isn’t consistent with the aircraft’s equipment layout.
