Which statement about evacuation ropes correctly describes their locations?

Which statement about evacuation ropes correctly describes their locations?

• A. Overwing exits
• B. Flight deck
• C. Overwing exits (in overhead bin) and flight deck
• D. In cargo hold

Answer: (C)

Evacuation ropes are there to help people get down safely when slides aren’t used or cannot be deployed. At the overwing exits, the rope is kept in an overhead bin so passengers can grab it and descend from the wing to the ground during an evacuation. There’s also a rope prepared for the flight crew to use to escape from the cockpit, stored in the flight deck for that purpose. Because these two locations cover both passengers at the wings and crew from the cockpit, the statement that describes both locations is the correct one. Ropes in the cargo hold aren’t part of standard evacuation procedures.
