Where are slide rafts located?

Where are slide rafts located?

• A. Emergency doors, never at overwing exits
• B. Overwing exits
• C. In the cargo hold
• D. In the cockpit

Answer: (A)

Slide rafts are part of the evacuation slides used at doors that open to the outside during an emergency. They’re installed at the emergency passenger/crew doors, the main exits, so evacuees can reach water and have flotation once they leave the aircraft. Overwing exits are not equipped with a raft-bearing slide, and there are no slides or rafts in the cargo hold or the cockpit, making the emergency doors the correct location for slide rafts.
